Many patients visit AAI Rejuvenation Clinic on a daily basis, who have stated that they are “tired of being tired”. Lots of those patients have been taking energy drinks or 3-shot espressos for years to keep their energy levels up, but end up feeling more fatigued. If you have started feeling heavy, disconnected, or numb, you may have hypoarousal fatigue.
Understanding Hypoarousal: When Your Nervous System Hits the Brakes
Hypoarousal, or hypoaroused, is the state of shutdown or collapse of the autonomic nervous system, according to polyvagal theory. This occurs when the body interprets the threat as long-term, chronic, and unresolvable. The dorsal vagus nerve activates the triad of somatosensory.
Common Symptoms of Hypoarousal Fatigue
Tiredness & Weight Issues: Feeling heavy-handed and not able to breathe well due to having very little physical energy.
Lack of Motivation: Feeling no joy, but being mistaken for regular depression.
Cognitive Impairment: Persistent disconnection from the world or your thoughts, problems making decisions or memory.
Low Physiological Measurements: People who exhibit the symptoms often have low levels in both heart rate & blood pressure.
Why Coffee Doesn’t Fix Hypoarousal Fatigue
For those in a hypoaroused state, caffeine is rarely the solution. In fact, it often exacerbates the problem by adding more stress to an already overwhelmed system.
The Adenosine Trap and Receptor Upregulation
Caffeine works by inhibiting adenosine from signalling sleepiness; therefore, it does not inhibit adenosine production. Once caffeine has worn off, all of the adenosine that has accumulated in your body will rebound in your system. It results in a much larger crash. Additionally, chronic caffeine use increases the number of adenosine receptors in your brain. It facilitates greater fatigue levels in the absence of caffeine.
