Most days, you can finish your work, talk to people, and keep up with your responsibilities — and still feel mentally drained. The Mental Fatigue Scan helps you notice what changed on the inside, not just what you accomplished on the outside.

Instead of asking "How tired am I?" — it asks "What tends to change when I'm tired?"
