I think there are plenty of things that can sometimes work as resources.
Take tension in your back. If you sit to long in an unergonomic position in front of your desk, parts of your back will tense up. It will take some time for relaxation to get rid of that tension.
I think similar effects happen when you suppress emotions. Just because you have finished a task doesn't mean that your brain isn't still dealing with the emotions that the task raised.
