Ordinary tiredness is fixed by one good night's sleep and a short break, and you return to normal. Burnout does not work that way: you rest at the weekend and by Monday you are back at the same place.
Burnout is not tiredness
Tiredness is occasional and rest clears it. Chronic burnout is enduring, and underneath it there is usually a rigid belief: my worth is tied to what I produce. As long as I work, I am worth something.
That belief is what makes time off useless — because resting means not working, and not working means being worthless. The result is a cycle that reproduces the burnout on its own.
Three things that genuinely help
What you can try tomorrow
Write down an end-of-work time this week and take it seriously. After that hour, close the work — not reply to messages, actually close it. Try three days in a row and see what changes.
Anxiety and stress

Worry is not always there to prepare you; sometimes the brain mistakes mistakes for facts. Here is what keeps the anxiety cycle turning and how to stop it.
Sleep
Five signs that your insomnia has become chronic
A few bad nights are normal; from some point on, bad nights become a fixed pattern. Where is that line?
Children and teenagers
How to talk to your child about their fears
The phrases we think are harmless often make a child's fear larger. Some alternatives, and a short exercise for home.
In short
Burnout is not cured by leave, because its root is not the volume of work — it is the belief that you must keep proving you are enough in order to be liked.
