Your brain is an incredibly energy-intensive organ. It makes up approximately 2% of your total body mass, but at rest it's using 22% of your total energy intake. The only thing that uses the same percentage of energy is all of your skeletal muscle (which is about 40% of your total body mass), with the liver (about 2.6% of your total mass) close behind at 21% (Aragon et al, 2017).

And that's how much energy it's using at rest.

That's the baseline.

So if you're doing lots of intellectual labour, your brain - which already has disproportionately huge energy demand - is going to use even more energy to keep up with the work. That's why you feel so wiped/drained/like you're out of spell slots after high intellectual demand - because your brain is an organ, and you've just done a lot of high-energy work with a high-energy organ.

PLEASE HELP!

Hello. January 15th is a year since my dad died in the war. He died protecting us from russian terrorists. On this day, I want to honor his memory and give a chance to those, who can still survive. My dad, unfortunately, had no chance. He died a terrible death, but he died a hero.

There are always a lot of unfollows after posts about war. That's your business. But my reality is war, and I'm not going to keep quiet about it.

You have helped me with tourniquets and bandages more than once. You know that these things can save lives, stop heavy bleeding. Please give a chance to those who suffered in the war. Tourniquets and bandages are very important medical items.

Thanks to them, people survive. One tourniquet costs 650 UAH (about 16 dollars), and you need at least ten ($160), bandages cost 450 UAH each, I will take them too, if there are more funds than 10 tourniquets.

Then I will give it all to local volunteers, as usual, and show you. Please support this fundraising: like, reblog, or donate if you can. This is very important to me personally. I want my dad to be remembered. This fundraising is in his honor. Thanks!

PLEASE REBLOG, LIKE OR DONATE, IF YOU CAN:
