Do you always get headaches? Do you have trouble sleeping, and toss and turn for hours because your mind won’t “turn off” even if you’re exhausted? Are you cranky and easily frustrated? These are early signs of burnout.

Burnout: The Silent Disease

“Burnout is one of those road hazards in life that high-achievers really should keep a close eye out for, but sadly—often because of their ‘I can do everything’ personalities—they rarely see it coming,” says Psychology Today.

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. We experience little changes in your mood, sleep or eating patterns, and energy levels, but ignore them until we completely shut down. To avoid burnout, we have to address and manage stress every day.

Turn Off Your Brain

Life coach Sam Thorne says that many times, burnout isn’t caused by acual work but worrying about work. “Anxiety, fear of failure, pressure from others or from yourself, and self-doubt can wear you down a lot more than actual tasks.”

He adds that achievers are more likely to experience this kind of stress because of the kind of standards they place on themselves. “They want to do things perfectly. They get frustrated when things don’t go to plan, or are out of their control. Unfortunately, their inability to let go eventually affects their ability to perform, which leads to a vicious cycle of becoming angry with themselves.”

He advises his clients to create a “Quiet Zone” — physically, mentally — where they’re not allowed to bring in thoughts about work, money, relationships, housework, or fitness. “It gives you space to release your emotional and mental load.”

Here are some cool tools that can help you release the stress and lift your spirits in the middle of the busiest, craziest and most exhausting week.

LectroFan Evo White Noise Sound Machine 

Buy now: $84.25, Amazon

Do you often lie in bed, thinking about work? Even if you try to sleep, you end up reviewing what you need to do, or fussing over a problem. Sometimes you replay the events that happened at the office, and end up getting agitated or worried.

One way to shut off those thoughts (and minimize anxiety) is to listen to white noise. The background sounds give your restless mind something else to pay attention to, while easing you into calm and restful deep sleep. This sleep machine has over 7,000 Amazon reviews! It comes with several sounds, a timer, precise volume control, and the option to play it on a speaker or headset.
