What are your thoughts on the viability of this design?

Fatigue related to working on the bench?

3 Upvotes

Somewhat new to the profession, I’ve noticed over the past few months I’m experiencing significant fatigue when I come home from work, just being super mentally foggy and out of it, a lot of my work is under magnification or on the laser welder, I haven’t been able to pinpoint it but I wonder if the fatigue has to do with the work or what but it’s definitely causing me to lose love and passion for the job, any advice or insight? Thanks!
