Resilience Depletion Cycle
The resilience depletion cycle is push-through → short recovery → bigger stressor → crash—common in athletes who pride grit over rest. Each lap borrows from sleep, relationships, and immune reserve.

Breaking the cycle needs planned deloads and non-negotiable off nights before illness forces them.
Common questions
-
What triggers a resilience depletion cycle?
Stacked work deadlines, travel, illness, and training peaks without real off-blocks—especially when sleep is shortened to cope.
-
How do you break the cycle?
Remove one major stressor, extend sleep for seven to fourteen days, and reschedule intensity only after HRV and mood stabilize.
