attention fatigue
Concentration wearing thin
Attention fatigue is the diminished capacity to focus that comes from sustained mental effort or overstimulation.
Unlike physical tiredness, it specifically affects concentration and decision-making.
The term appears in discussions of information overload, workplace productivity, and digital media consumption: After hours of video calls, attention fatigue set in and I couldn't process anything else.
