To feel less tired, some effective strategies include:
- Don't hit the snooze button; get up as soon as the alarm goes off to avoid fragmented sleep and grogginess.
- Drink a glass of water first thing to counter dehydration, which causes fatigue.
- Stretch or do some yoga in the morning to increase circulation and boost energy.
- Splash your face with water or take a cold shower to stimulate alertness.
- Go outside to get sunlight exposure, which increases serotonin and improves wakefulness.
- Do some cardio or aerobic exercise to reduce fatigue and increase alertness.
- Maintain good sleep hygiene by going to bed earlier and getting enough quality sleep.
- Eat balanced meals and avoid too much sugar; eating smaller, frequent meals can stabilize blood sugar and energy.
- Manage stress and mood through mindfulness, gratitude, and doing enjoyable activities.
- Cut back on caffeine and alcohol, especially in the evening, as they can disrupt sleep quality.
