That’s consonant with my experience and I think that’s kind of the point. Being alone is more about getting the necessary space we need for our brains to reset for once and not have to focus on anything or waste cycles on distractions. I often feel more refreshed after sitting around doing nothing outside for a second than I do after sleeping.

I think this is another reason being outdoors during solitude is great, it’s like a relaxation and brain refresh force multiplier.
