What are the various ways to fight midday fatigue?
According to Dr. Sujit Chatterjee CEO of Hiranandani Hospital, a little nap in the middle of the afternoon can increase memory, job performance, mood, alertness, and stress relief.
Have you ever had one of those days where you pushed yourself through the morning only to crash after you returned from lunch? If this happens frequently, it's time to look into it further if you want to keep your workflow going.
A productive day can make you feel good and relieve tension, yet not getting anything done can wreck your day and throw things off schedule. Here are a few things you can do to help you push through the afternoon fatigue, reset, and get rid of it.
- Have a nutritious snack
Have healthy snacks and meals daily. Especially if your diet includes enough dark, leafy greens and protein it will provide you with the necessary natural energy. It can be difficult to avoid carb-heavy, dense foods. So try to choose healthier options that aren't fried or overly processed.
- Stretch out in the sun
Stretching multiple times a day will help you feel more energized. It's nice if you can conduct a standing stretch near a window with plenty of natural light. The production of melatonin, which makes us sleepy, can be reduced by exposure to sunlight.
If you don't have access to natural light, stretching and working near a lamp or overhead lighting can help. Working in the dark, especially after lunch, should be avoided.
- Go for a walk
Short bouts of physical activity (e.g., 15 minutes of walking) were found to be more effective than daily caffeine consumption in boosting energy levels in people with chronic insufficient sleep. If you start to feel drowsy, get up from your desk and go for a little walk. Even a quick walk around the office or down the hall to see a coworker might provide a much-needed boost of energy.
- Listen to music
Music has been demonstrated to improve concentration levels in studies. Music may do the same thing before your 3 p.m. presentation in the same way it can fuel up your workout.
While everyone's tastes in music are different, research recommends a laid-back beat to help you calm your mind. It claims that instrumental music without lyrics helps to power through cognitive skills.
- Take a break
Take a five- to fifteen-minute break from your work to recharge and relax. You can gain a lot from spending a few minutes doing what you want. Listening to music, contacting a buddy, or tackling a crossword problem can help you a lot. Walking breaks are also recommended by certain specialists on a semi-regular basis.
According to Hiranandani Hospital Powai News, sitting for lengthy periods of time increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems.
