Loss of Energy - Tips and tricks
Look at your life.
Diet, exercise patterns, sleeping environment, habits, life-style, and
current concerns, are they affecting your sleep?
Consider the effects of
caffeine and alcohol on
your system. Some people have trouble sleeping at night even if
they have a small amount of caffeine in the morning. Others have
problems snoozing if they have caffeine close to bedtime. Alcoholic
drinks, on the other hand, may help some folks doze off initially, but
their slumber may not be restful.
Watch what you eat.
Certain foods may cause
heartburn that can keep you up in the middle of the night.
Drinking a lot of liquids
close to bedtime can wake you up as well with trips to the bathroom.
Also, be careful of eating too
much or not enough. Both can disrupt sleep.
Don't smoke.
Studies show nicotine, a stimulant, is associated with sleeping and
waking difficulties.
Create an ideal sleep environment. Use your bed
only for sleep. Make sure your
mattress provides enough support. If noise is a problem, consider
wearing ear plugs, playing relaxing music, or placing rugs, heavy
curtains, or double-pane windows in your bedroom. Make sure the room is
comfortable, dark, and cool.
Exercise at
the right time. Studies show physical activity in the
late afternoon can
improve the quality of sleep, but working out 2 to 3 hours before
bedtime may delay slumber.
Set a regular bedtime and wake-time
schedule.
Sleeping late or sleeping in may seem ideal on weekends, but it may give
you trouble getting to bed on Sunday evening, or waking up on Monday
morning.
Find time to relax
before going to sleep. Bedtime rituals can help you
unwind and encourage a more restful sleep. Different activities work for
different people. Try gentle music, soaking in a warm bath, meditation,
or a prayer.
