Exhaustion Phase is when your body says, “I’ve had enough!”
Imagine you're playing on the playground all day, running, swinging, climbing the jungle gym, and even riding a merry-go-round. At first, you’re full of energy, like a balloon that’s been inflated to its limit. But as time goes by, you start feeling tired. Your legs get heavy, your eyes get sleepy, and eventually, you can't play anymore, you just want to sit down on the grass and take a nap.
This is like the Exhaustion Phase of your body. It's when all that fun and activity use up all your energy, and you need a break to recharge.
What Happens During Exhaustion Phase?
During this phase, your body slows down, just like how a toy car stops moving after running out of batteries. You might feel grumpy or even a little sad because you can’t do the things you usually love. But don’t worry, it’s not forever! After some rest and maybe a snack, your energy will come back, and you’ll be ready to play again.
Examples
