Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Exhaustion is common at your age: school, social pressure, sleep, expectations. Jesus does not offer a productivity tip. He offers rest. It is worth taking seriously that rest, including proper sleep, is something good rather than a failure. If you are feeling worn out for a long time, please talk to a doctor or someone you trust.
