Why fading happens
Sleep pressure, circadian timing, passive tasks, long sessions, and an under-stimulating environment can combine. An alert may reveal the problem, but it does not remove the cause.
Practical steps
- Separate work time from recovery time.
- Stand and move between long calls.
- Use EyeJolt for stationary sessions with the camera unobstructed.
- End the work block when repeated alerts show that focus has collapsed.
Where EyeJolt fits
Start a stationary session with your face visible, choose a suitable alert rotation, and use repeated alarms as a clear signal to stop and recover.
Limits
EyeJolt may miss fatigue and may false-alert. It is not a medical device, fitness-for-duty system, or replacement for sleep, supervision, staffing, or approved safety controls.
