In my opinion, I think mental activity is more tiring. The reason I say this is because of my job. I am in the medical insurance career thing and even though I sit on my butt for eight hours (sometimes 10) when it's time for me to go....I am very very very drained because I have to strategize my whole day. But on the weekends, when I work out, I am drained for a couple of minutes, but I'm fine because I re cooperate quicker than a full days of work.

Some people find mental tasks like talking and listening much more tiring than physical activities. Most activities use a combination of brain and muscle ...

Well, I think mental activity is more stressful on your system, but I tell ya, if you sit at a desk doing mental activity all day, one day of physical activity really kicks you.

Which is more likely to make you want to sleep when you're finished. I'd say phsical.
Which can drain your energy more (and perhaps stop you being able to sleep and thus in the long run leave you more tired) I'd say mental.

The two are both exhausting in completely different ways.
For example, if I spend 12 hours landscaping, I get home and sleep as soon as I stop movng.
If I spend 12 hours writing exams and essays, I get home and just want to zone out, just chill. Likely watching tv or similar.

Both are just as tiring as each other,but we humans need them both,and could not do without either...we would all be sloth-like otherwise and would not evolve as a species.
