Mental work does not tire the brain; emotions cause the feeling of brain fatigue.

Based on available evidence, mental fatigue manifests from prolonged cognitive activity and stress, suggesting mental work can indeed lead to tiredness of the brain. Emotional factors might influence how fatigue is perceived, but they are not the sole cause. The evidence indicates a complex interaction between mental workload and emotional states, influencing how fatigue is experienced.
