      This is also a protective mechanism. We get tired to avoid doing too much damage, so in exercise we stop or if we work to long we feel tired through stress. Rest will allow our minds and bodies to recover

      I think that tiredness works as an internal sensor, telling us to rest so that our body can recover and repair.
