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