The amount of time it takes to recover from mental exhaustion depends on several factors, including the severity of the exhaustion; if the exhaustion is mild, recovery may be faster, and if it is severe, recovery may take longer. It also depends on the duration of exhaustion and an individual’s display of resilience; some people are more resilient than others and recover from mental exhaustion more quickly, and recovery can be aided by having a supportive network of family, friends, or healthcare professionals.
