As the year draws to a close, exhaustion has become part of everyday life for many people. Between
demanding work schedules, family responsibilities, financial pressures and the constant need to keep going, rest is often the first thing we sacrifice. But pushing through tiredness comes at a cost. Poor sleep can affect our mood, concentration, immune function and physical health, while prolonged sleep deprivation can leave us struggling to cope with even the simplest daily demands. Today we explore the hidden cost of running on empty, why sleep is essential to our mental and physical well-being, and how we can prioritise rest before exhaustion becomes a health concern. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Burnout and Emotional Recovery Consultant, Glynnis Penny
