IB burnout is real. Months of pressure, lack of sleep, and performance anxiety take a toll — even after exams are done. Here's how to recharge your mind and body without guilt.
Burnout isn't laziness — it's your brain saying "enough."
Symptoms include constant tiredness, irritability, or loss of motivation.
Step one is acceptance, not denial.
Rest isn't just sleeping. It's turning off performance mode.
Try:
You're not wasting time — you're refueling.
Was it perfectionism? Overcommitment? Procrastination?
Naming the cause helps prevent it next semester.
Don't jump into 8-hour study days. Start small:
Momentum > intensity.
