ep 136 - The Hidden Cost of Decision Fatigue After 40
Sunday, 5 July, 2026

Have you ever felt mentally exhausted by the end of the day—even from making simple decisions? In this episode of Somnilopod, we explore the hidden cost of decision fatigue after 40 and why everyday choices can become surprisingly draining in midlife. Learn how poor sleep, chronic stress, and normal age-related changes in brain function affect memory, focus, and executive function. You'll also discover practical, science-backed strategies to reduce cognitive overload, protect your mental energy, and improve your ability to think clearly throughout the day. If you've ever wondered why your brain feels "full" by dinner time, this episode will help you understand what's happening—and what you can do about it.
