It may be a problem of brain fatigue. You should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Pay attention to using your brain in a healthy way. During prolonged or excessively intense mental work, free radicals, lactic acid and many other harmful substances produced by brain cell metabolism accumulate in large quantities, blocking the brain's nutrient channels, causing reduced blood oxygen content and poor blood circulation. While the brain's nutrition and energy are extremely consumed, the effective absorption and utilization of nutrients are hindered, ultimately leading to damage to the balance between the cerebral neocortex and the limbic system and diencephalon, inhibition of brain cell activity, and the increase and disorder of information flow, which cause chronic fatigue syndrome.
