Who does not know the sudden fatigue that piles up in the midst of the working day?

Instead of performing routine duties, I really want to lie down and take a nap, at least for half an hour.

t knocks off the working rhythm, takes all thoughts out of your head into an unknown distance, and it is very, very difficult to concentrate on work.

So what to do?

Can I help myself to maintain concentration and cheerfulness throughout the day?

The trivial advice to sleep more, that is, to get enough sleep, let's leave aside. Increasing the duration of sleep will not solve the problem, energy will not raise. But how else to maintain your efficiency and not "fall over" into the sleepy kingdom? Here are 6 ways to solve the problem, confirmed experimentally.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Hands off gadgets (smartphone, tablet, laptop) – at least at night

Using a computer, tablet, phone late at night (after 21.00) leads to the fact that the next day people feel insufficiently rested, more tired and even "squeezed" like a lemon. Studies have shown this.

The reason is this. The possibilities of the brain are not limitless, it needs time for rest and recovery for full work during the day. And when studying late at night on a computer or smartphone with various things, the brain begins to work with overload. At the same time, firstly, there are difficulties with falling asleep, and secondly, it is more difficult for the brain to disconnect, and that is why it is practically impossible to fully rest during the night.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Don't forget about water

The recommendation - to drink more water, is not without meaning. The less water in the body, the thicker the blood becomes, the worse the brain is supplied with oxygen, the faster drowsiness and a feeling of fatigue appear. Disperse sleep will help a glass of clean water. Take care of this in advance, and if you have a bottle of water on your desktop, then you will not forget about it.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Give up alcohol in the evenings

Many people know the relaxing effect of alcohol on the body. After a busy day, you want to relax as soon as possible, and even fall asleep after a couple of glasses of which is much easier!

But to relax you will have to find other ways. The fact is that alcohol is a serious obstacle to the normal sleep process. Processing alcohol, the human body produces a lot of the hormone adrenaline. The phases of sleep are disturbed, sleep becomes superficial, which leads to frequent awakenings. Alcoholic beverages not only cause anxious, intermittent sleep, but can also lead to insomnia.

Even children know about ways to relax without alcohol. Just in case, we will list. This is calm music, a walk, a favorite book, a leisurely conversation with loved ones, a warm shower, warm milk with honey, herbal tea with mint and lemon balm, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Give up fatty foods

The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine published data from a study conducted by American scientists. They found that fatty and sweet foods not only worsen the quality of sleep, but affect the subjective perception of their own fatigue throughout the day.

5. Keep order

A huge flow of contradictorous information in which modern man has to exist, the need to understand what is important and what is secondary is a sign of our time. In order not to drown in this ocean of information, the brain of a modern person has to do a huge and complex job, as a result, a feeling of fatigue arises very quickly.

A study published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience found that even a trifle like clutter on the desktop increases fatigue. An uncleaned apartment, things out of place, dishes in the sink that awaits us in the morning or when we come home, keeps our brain in constant tension, not allowing it to relax.

Maintaining order constantly is easy, it is difficult to clean an apartment or workplace, when this is done from time to time, things are not arranged rationally or they do not have a once and for all established place. To relieve the brain, you just need to remove all the excess from sight.

But a tidy apartment, a rationally equipped workplace cause a sense of satisfaction, self-respect, increase self-esteem, minimize the search for the right things. The eternal irritation goes away, the mood rises, there is no trace of fatigue and drowsiness.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Train your brain

Systematic brain training will not only help to cope with the daily load, but also give you the opportunity to find out your weaknesses and strengths, adjust and develop what you would like. The results of many studies show that brain training is effective in combating stress, leading to chronic fatigue.

Following these simple rules, you can effectively deal with fatigue, it becomes quite clear that fatigue is not the scourge of our time and not even an imminent diagnosis.
