What we measure
The 10 Dopamine Drainers
The everyday habits engineered to feel effortless — and quietly expensive. The quiz maps which ones are pulling hardest on you.
Why it happens
Every hit of easy pleasure tips a balance.
The brain works to keep pleasure and pain in balance. Flood one side often enough, and the balance resets against you — ordinary life starts to feel flat, and the reaching gets automatic.
How it works
Three minutes to a clear picture.
16 quick questions about your habits and how you've been feeling. No right answers — just real ones.
Your drain score, your severity level, and the specific habits pulling hardest on your energy.
A starting point matched to your level — not a generic list, and not a guilt trip.
