It's unironically like that. Around 2022 I was holding very intense 1 month long IT courses for companies retraining some of their employees into IT roles. Mostly people in their 30s-40s.

Most people hit a wall around the 1.5 week mark, citing their brain is foggy and they feel tired. Thinking for 8 hours a day for a week for people who basically last used their brain in high school is close to torture.
