Your Brain: The Ultimate Energy Hog

“Your brain is kind of… an energy hog.” “Even when you’re doing nothing, your brain uses

about 20% of your body’s energy.” “That’s wild because your brain is only about 2% of your

body weight.” “Why? Because it’s always working — controlling breathing,

heartbeat, memories, emotions… even daydreaming.” “Billions of neurons are sending signals

nonstop, and that takes a LOT of fuel.” “So yeah… lying in bed thinking

counts as effort.” “Your brain’s been grinding this whole time. Respect it.”
