Connection Fatigue refers to the fact that because connection is taxing on the physical unit, there is an innate tendency in the physical unit to disconnect when connection is becoming overly taxing.

Notes

Connection is taxing on the physical body, primarily because of increased energetic flow through the body's energy system which occurs in connected states. Therefore, in order to prevent damage, the physical unit has an automated mechanism to "voluntarily" disconnect from consciousness if energy flow is becoming too intense. In practical terms, this phenomena is experienced as an ongoing cycle of connected states followed by rest periods, with the rest periods lasting days, weeks, or even longer, depending on the health, vitality, and overall condition of the physical unit.

(Another idea to maybe explore is the concept of connection fatigue occurring in a psychological sense. In such a case, it is possible that a similar phenomena can be seen, whereby highly connected states are followed by "rest periods" that exist so that one can integrate the insights of the connected experience.)

Another related concept to perhaps explore is connection burnout, which is a negative connection outcome that occurs when the extant energetic or psychological structures of the physical unit are overwhelmed and potentially damaged by intense connection experiences.
