gaming fatigue

In the world of video games, an immersive escape from reality, it’s not uncommon to encounter a paradoxical phenomenon: gaming fatigue. This state, often overlooked, emerges when the joy of gaming wanes, replaced by a sense of weariness or even aversion.

Everyone knows from personal experience that music is soothing. Whether it’s a piece by Mozart to unwind after a long day at work, Abba’s “We Are the Champions” playing in the kitchen while cooking a challenging meal that requires confidence, or anything by Men at Work to boost energy and humor during boring test preparation, music has the power to affect our mood and emotions.
