Why Noise Bothers You So Much More Than It Used To
Settled: Nervous System Tools for Anxiety, Burnout & Sleep by Maya Sloane
Episode notes
A door closing. Someone chewing. A notification you used to ignore. Now it all hits different. Like someone crept into your brain and turned everything up. This episode unpacks a 2013 study from Karolinska Institutet that found emotional exhaustion literally changes how loud your brain makes the world. The mechanism is physical. And it's not about the noise.
