Burnout has leapt from a rare occurrence to a modern epidemic. Most people now feel overwhelmed daily and search for relief, sometimes in all the wrong places. But recent research reveals that relaxation isn’t just about comfort; it’s your front line defense against burnout.
Why Burnout Is Surging in 2025
Burnout statistics are at an all-time high:
-
82 percent of workers are at risk of burnout in 2025, a sharp jump from prior years.
-
Burnout costs businesses a staggering $322 billion every year in lost productivity.
-
Healthcare expenses from workplace burnout approach $190 billion annually.
-
The issue isn't just at work: 66 percent of Americans say they're burned out, the highest level ever!
Recent research shows that younger generations—especially Gen Z and millennials hit peak burnout at just 25 years old, 17 years earlier than previous averages. Remote workers experience a 20 percent higher risk of burnout, even with flexible schedules, while women face significantly more burnout than men, with the gap growing rapidly.
What Is Burnout – And Why Do We Need to Relax?
Burnout means feeling wiped out physically and emotionally—unable to focus, always tired, even sick more often.
Symptoms include:
-
Constant exhaustion
-
Poor concentration
-
Sleep problems
-
Mood swings and negative outlook
-
Greater risk of illness
How Relaxation Directly Lowers Burnout Risk
Relaxation isn’t about laziness; it’s resetting your nervous system.
When you relax, you:
-
Lower cortisol (the stress hormone)
-
Improve your mood naturally
-
Boost heart rate variability (HRV), a marker for resilience
-
Balance your emotions under pressure
Evidence-Based Relaxation Techniques
Doctors and scientists agree on several fast-acting habits:
1. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
-
Boosts heart rate variability and adaptability to stress
-
Even simple activities like controlled breathing and guided relaxation can stimulate this vital nerve

-
Improved Sleep: Pulsetto supports restful sleep by calming your nervous system, helping you wake up refreshed and energized.
-
Enhanced Mental Clarity: By promoting relaxation, Pulsetto aids in sharpening focus and reducing brain fog.
-
Boosted Heart Rate Variability (HRV): This device helps improve HRV, an important marker of heart health and resilience to stress.
-
Digestive Health Support: Vagus nerve stimulation positively impacts the gut-brain connection, aiding digestion and reducing bloating.
-
Chronic Health Support: Pulsetto offers support for individuals managing chronic stress, anxiety, and fatigue, helping to improve their quality of life.

How Pulsetto Works:
Using Pulsetto is simple and takes just 4 minutes to start feeling the effects. Here's how it works:
-
Apply a generous amount of gel to your neck or directly onto the electrodes.
-
Place the device on your neck.
-
Pair it with the Pulsetto app on your smartphone.
-
Choose your desired program and start the device through the app.
The device creates a gentle, pleasant vibration or tingling sensation in your neck area. This stimulation helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a calmer, less stressed state.

Reduces mental chatter, sharpens focus, and calms nerves
-
Proven to cut anxiety levels and help with emotional regulation
3. Physical Movement & Exercise
-
Regular movement lowers stress hormone levels and releases pent-up tension
-
Supports deeper rest and higher energy
4. Deep Breathing (Diaphragmatic Breathing)
-
Lowers blood pressure and salivary cortisol
-
Scientifically shown to improve HRV and reduce stress
5. Talking About Emotions
-
Sharing how you feel helps prevent isolation and leads to emotional release
6. Practicing Gratitude
-
Helps reframe stress and supports better mental health outcomes
The Power of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
The vagus nerve acts as the body’s stress “off-switch”. Stimulating it—through gentle vibration, breathwork, meditation, or targeted wellness devices can help recover from burnout and build resilience.
