Alert fatigue isn't a wellness issue. It's a production risk. And it's cheaper to fix than most people think.
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.
Nobody sets out to create alert fatigue. It happens one alert at a time.
Two years later you have 400 alerts and nobody remembers why half of them exist.
Teams that aggressively prune alerts sleep better, ship more, and have fewer real incidents. It's not a trade-off. It's just good hygiene.
