Why don't we feel tired while engaged in a work , but feel it when we take rest ?

Question:

Answers:
It's so true. Especially for me when I come back from a busy day I feel tired as soon as I enter my home.

I think it's as someone said a matter of focus. When you are busy your brain doesn't realise you are tired because you are too busy doing something else. However when you are resting the brain can now turn it's attention to the body which says "hey I'm tired". Eventually the body does take over, but it is amazing how long we can go on for without tiring. The miracle of the mind.

Malu,
I believe that it is a matter of focus. When we are at work, we are mentally occupied with the task at hand. When we are resting afterward, we are free to realize just how exhausted we have become. We probably do feel a little tired when working, but pay little attention to it. Well if you had a job! You would know you can feel very tired at work! You can also get tired playing on the computer asking stupid Question all day!! Those who work get paid and pay they way! You can just keep living with MOM & DAD & rest
