The brain can't get tired. Sure, try telling that to a person who has been under a lot of stress lately doing all the intellectual work. The simple truth is that while the brain can't physically get tired in a way that the other muscles can, the certain states a person is in whether psychological or physical can influence a concentration and the amount of brain activity. So the obvious question is what to do in these type of situations.
Well, according to a recent research, it turns out that the brain actually works better in an environment where you can feel the salty breeze, the warm sand, and enjoy the sound of waves. This probably comes as no surprise to pretty much anyone who has ever been to the beach. But if you can't afford to go on vacation every once in a while, you should try halotherapy, or a simple walk in the forest, for that matter, that will do the trick as well, and your mind will be sharper than ever.
