HOW TIGERS CONSERVE ENERGY BETWEEN HUNTS (AND WHY YOU'RE EXHAUSTED)

The Predator's Energy Paradox

A Bengal tiger spends 18-20 hours per day resting. Not sleeping—strategically recovering. Meanwhile, modern "hustle culture" glorifies 14-hour workdays as if exhaustion were a virtue. This fundamental mismatch explains why 72% of professionals report chronic fatigue (WHO, 2023) despite productivity tools.

Tigers survive because they obey three biological imperatives that most humans violate daily:

  1. Only hunt when prey is sighted (no blind activity)
  2. Digest completely before next kill (deep recovery)
  3. Abandon chases exceeding 20 seconds (strategic quitting)
