After-school restraint collapse describes how children withhold their feelings at school and then express them at home by having meltdowns. Similarly, adults may not explode but experience tension and irritability.
Experts suggest adults experiencing stress from a long day should focus on taking microbreaks throughout the day to reduce mental fatigue and improve overall well-being.
Research highlighted in a 2022 review indicates that short breaks can alleviate mental exhaustion while simultaneously enhancing physical health, thus preventing conditions such as dead butt syndrome.
While after-school restraint collapse is not a formal condition, many adults can relate to the concept; they might not throw tantrums but can become irritable as feelings build up.
