Social Battery Drain: Why You Need Alone Time After Socializing

Finding breathing room in a world that won't stop feels impossible. Every notification demands attention, and every moment gets filled with productivity. But breathing room isn't about finding more time - it's about creating space within the time you have. Sometimes the most radical act is simply pausing.
