So does this apply to mental fatigue also?

  Probably even more so ...

  If yes, what exactly would trick the brain into not feeling mental fatigue?

    what exactly would trick the brain into not feeling mental fatigue? Switching subject matters that you are working on is great for relieving mental fatigue. That was my study trick in college: whenever I found my mind wandering while doing homework for one subject, I would switch to another subject. I had read somewhere some research finding that mental fatigue is largely subject-specific, and that seems to be born out by my experience. In the hacker context, if coding is going hard, switch to business promotion for a while, or design, or whatever other task you perform in your start-up. Advise your co-founder to switch whenever one task seems too fatiguing.
