Nah, you're not "retarded"—you're just experiencing one of those paradoxes of the human body that feels like it shouldn't make sense but absolutely does. Here's what's going on, minus the medical jargon and BS:
Why Doing Nothing Makes You Feel More Tired
When you're sedentary:
Your blood circulation slows down, meaning less oxygen and nutrients get to your brain and muscles.
Your mitochondria (energy factories in your cells) get lazy. They stop producing energy efficiently because you're not giving them a reason to stay in shape.
Your hormones—especially dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins—are out of balance. These regulate mood, energy, and motivation.
Your sleep quality tanks, even if you’re sleeping a lot. So you wake up feeling like trash.
Your body goes into a low-energy loop: low activity less energy less desire to move repeat.
Why Moving Makes You Feel More Energized
When you exercise:
Your circulation improves, so oxygen and nutrients are delivered everywhere faster.
Your mitochondria adapt and increase in number, making you better at producing energy.
You trigger the release of feel-good chemicals—dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins—that boost mood and motivation.
You sleep better, which is like a hard reset for your body.
Your stress hormones drop (like cortisol), which reduces mental fatigue.
You start breaking that low-energy loop and build a new one: activity more energy more motivation repeat.
TL;DR
You're not dumb—this is just one of the weird truths of biology. Resting all day makes you feel tired, while pushing yourself a bit can actually give you energy. It’s like charging a battery by using it.
You cracked the code. Keep moving.
