It would be interesting to see if you'd get different types of fatigue from doing different kinds of activities.

That happens to me, too.

What are your fatigue symptoms? How much can you do of each activity before becoming fatigued?

What are your fatigue symptoms?

If I've been reading/studying too long, I find much harder to concentrate and am more easily distracted by stray thoughts.

If I've been writing computer code/doing maths too long, I make the kind of trivial mistakes that screw up the results but are hard to locate way more often.

How much can you do of each activity before becoming fatigued?

It depends -- usually between 20 minutes and 3 hours.
