HEALTH & WELLNESS Stay Energised See a big difference in how well rested you feel by making these easy and small changes to your lifestyle Doing moderate-intensity fitness session can significantly boost energy levels. TM | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019 74
Avoiding the morning madness is key to staying energised throughout the day. Rest is incredibly important to staying energised and productive through the day, but we often don’t get enough due to our hectic schedules. Often we feel drained during the middle of the day and while having that third or fourth cup of java may seem like the best solution, here are some simple steps you can do at work or at home to keep you pumped all day. Avoid The Snooze Button The short bursts of sleep you get in between grappling with the snooze button fragments your REM sleep— the most restorative period. This disrupts your body clock so you feel drowsy during the day and have a hard time nodding off at night, resulting in a cycle of sleepiness. If you’re not ready to bound out of bed, hit the snooze button just once and use those few minutes to wake yourself up slowly with a few gentle stretches. Another solution is to move your alarm clock. Place it so you have to get out of bed (and even walk across the room) to turn off the alarm. And once you’re up, don’t lie down again. Write a note and leave it by your alarm reminding yourself to stay up. Have Your Morning Coffee Later It can be hard to do but try delaying your coffee ritual for about 1½ to 2 hours after you wake up. If you start any earlier, it might actually weaken the caffeine’s effect. That can linked to cortisol—you may know it as the stress hormone, but it’s also a natural stimulant. Cortisol levels are highest in the early morning, so if you consume caffeine when you don’t need it as much, your body may end up producing less cortisol and attempting to lean more on the java to make up the difference. Wake Up With More Energy Avoiding the morning madness is key to staying energised throughout the day. If you wake up in a panicked state, you use up a hormone called cortisol, which is released throughout the day to help give you energy. This means you’ll have less to keep you energised for the rest of the day and should consider a smarter and softer wake up call. Some alarm clocks use soft sounds or music so you’re not awaken in a frenzy. Jot Your To-Dos In the Afternoon Avoid writing down your to-do list before sleeping at night as it will send your mind racing when it really should be powering down. Instead, allocate 10 or 15 minutes after your midday meal to make a list of what you need to get done, write out any concerns and create action plans. This will allow you to have better quality sleep (thanks to fewer nighttime worries), so you can feel more alert during the day. Set A Sleep-Time Alarm. It is important to stick to a schedule when it comes to your sleeping time. Turn in at the same time every night, wind down an hour beforehand, and wake up within an hour of the same time every day - even on weekends. Set your alarm to ring about 30 minutes before you plan to sleep to give yourself time to start winding down, turning off your electronics and getting ready for bed. This will help get your biological clock in sync. 75 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019 | TM
