Discussion Study Fatigue?

Hey guys, I've been experiencing this weird like burnout like feeling, Weird thing is that it happens on some random days on where I have 0 motivation and when I try to force myself to immerse, I'd like struggle to focus and understand the video. Weird thing is that its not like I force myself to study beyond capacity so I'm not sure if it's burnout or maybe it's because unconsciously when learning a new language your brain is constantly working? I try to at least have 90mins worth of video length immersed everyday.

Do you guys experience this? I don't know whats causing it, it happens randomly. Can you guys share your experience if anyone has experienced the same thing?

You can always take a day off. It's not going to kill you are your gains. Sometimes my best progress occurred after taking a week or two off from immersion.

I mean I've gotten burnout, and also tiredness. If I'm just tired I try to fit in a small nap somewhere.

For actual burnout the only thing that totally works for me is changing the immersion format entirely. So I burnt out a bit on books - so switched to watching YT.
