weariness
State of exhaustion
Weariness is the state of being weary—tired, fatigued, or drained of energy.
Physical weariness follows exertion: weariness after a long hike.
Mental or emotional weariness comes from prolonged stress, monotony, or frustration: a weariness with politics, the weariness in her voice.
The word carries a sense of heaviness that simple tiredness doesn't quite capture.
