Fried: Why You’re Exhausted and How to Reset Your Nervous System

by Nathan Alexander

You’re not just tired. You’re burnt out. FRIED is a practical, body-based guide for people whose exhaustion doesn’t go away with sleep, vacations, or “thinking positive.” When your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, rest doesn’t work — and willpower makes it worse. This book teaches you how to reset your nervous system from the bottom up, using simple physical tools that calm your body first so your mind can finally come back online. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN • Stop anxiety and adrenaline spikes in under 60 seconds• Use breath, cold exposure, and movement to exit fight-or-flight• Release stored stress before it turns into chronic burnout• Break doom spirals, brain fog, and decision paralysis• Set boundaries without guilt or confrontation• Build a 5-minute daily reset so you don’t burn out again Each chapter takes 5–10 minutes to read. Each tool takes 5 minutes or less to use. This is not therapy. It’s not mindset work. And it doesn’t ask you to overhaul your life. If sleep isn’t restoring you, your nervous system never turned off. FRIED shows you how to reset it.
