ELI5 mode

Cognitive fatigue is the state of mental exhaustion resulting from prolonged mental effort, such as decision-making, problem-solving, or sustained attention. In our hyper-connected modern lives, it's often amplified by constant notifications and information overload, leading to impaired focus and increased error rates in tasks that demand high cognitive resources.
