mercedo's Journal: Fatigue; Physical or Mental?

Physical fatigue can be cured by good night sleep, nutritious diet, airing, outing, appropriate excercise, etc., but when it comes to mental fatigue things are not so easy. Both fatigues -physical and mental have to be discharged before they start accumulating, but be careful not to let them in in the case of mental fafigue, since mental one is easy to get in but, hard to get out. In the case of physical fatigue, get in get out same degree, unless we load it over.

All generalizations are false

Different types of fatigue are not really the same thing - if something is not addressed by rest, it shouldn't be called fatigue.

Muscles, for example, can be fatigued by lactic acid buildup.

Repeated impacts can lead to an entirely different sort of muscle fatigue (having to do with microscopic injuries, among other things.)

You can group these things under one heading and call it "fatigue", but that doesn't make them the same in any real sense.

Both of these phenomena which we call "fatigue" are best addresse

Yeah, that's right, my argument is too generalised. Next time I intend to analyse many phenomena associated with some one 'notion'- e.g. fatigue. And I should like to examine more precisely so that many people could agree on it.
