Alert fatigue isn't a wellness issue. It's a production risk. And it's cheaper to fix than most people think.
The math
An engineer getting 30 alerts a night sleeps badly. Sleeps badly → cognitive load next day drops 20%. Drops 20% → higher chance of introducing a bug. That bug becomes the next incident. The next incident is another 30 alerts.
You are in a loop.
How it actually happens
