Hyper burnout is the paradoxical state of being simultaneously exhausted and unable to stop — the brain is fried but still spinning, the body is depleted but still restless. Unlike regular burnout where you just can't function, hyper burnout keeps you moving in an anxious, unproductive loop: starting tasks and abandoning them, sleeping poorly even when exhausted, being unable to rest even when rest is available. It's burnout with a jittery edge, the kind that caffeine has turned into a permanent condition.
She's in hyper burnout — too tired to work but too wired to sleep, just refreshing emails at 2am achieving nothing.
