“Utmattelse” is a Norwegian term that translates to “exhaustion” in English. It refers to a state of extreme physical or mental fatigue resulting from prolonged activity, stress, or emotional strain. Utmattelse can manifest as a lack of energy, decreased motivation, and an inability to perform tasks, often impacting daily functioning and overall well-being. It can occur due to various factors, including physical overexertion, emotional distress, sleep deprivation, or chronic stress. In a broader context, it is important to recognize the signs of utmattelse as it may indicate the need for rest, recovery, and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance and health.
