🚨 The 2-3 Week Rule: When Stress Becomes Burnout
Feeling exhausted after a tough shift is normal stress.
Feeling exhausted BEFORE every shift, for more than 2-3 weeks, despite rest — that's burnout progression.
Normal stress: Resolves with time off, sleep, a good weekend
Burnout: Persists despite rest, escalates over time
If symptoms last >2-3 weeks despite adequate rest, it's not "just a rough patch." It's a clinical warning.
