Continuing with the explanation of the recovery slogan H.A.L.T.: "Don't get too Tired" refers to the danger to emotional balance in early recovery of allowing yourself to become overextended physically by not getting enough rest. Fatigue causes even trivial problems to become overwhelming, the mole hill-into-a-mountain idea. A good night's sleep will restore one's ability to use tools of recovery to deal with issues that may seem insurmountable.
