Five tips to keep away sleepiness in summer

As the saying goes, "Spring makes you sleepy, Autumn makes you tired, and Summer makes you take naps." In summer, white-collar workers sitting in the office are very prone to dozing off and feeling mentally exhausted, which affects their work efficiency. Therefore, it is very important to learn a few tricks to deal with summer naps.

Drink strong tea or coffee

When feeling sleepy, white-collar workers may wish to make a cup of strong tea or coffee to refresh their minds. Moreover, you need to walk around for a while from the time you get up from your seat to the time you finish making tea or coffee, which can help relieve fatigue to a certain extent.

Eat mints

When you take a nap, you might want to eat a piece of mint or chew a piece of mint gum. The coolness of the mint can refresh you and help you get back to work with energy. Moreover, the chewing action keeps the mouth moving, which makes it less likely to feel sleepy.

Do some exercise

When you feel sleepy, you can choose to do some exercise, turn your slightly stiff neck, and move your limbs. After proper exercise, the body will feel excited, and at the same time it can clear the mind and get rid of the drowsiness.

Massage acupuncture points

To deal with summer naps, you can also eliminate fatigue through massage. When you feel sleepy or dizzy, you can massage the Baihui points, temples, Fengchi points, etc. to refresh yourself and relieve summer fatigue symptoms.

Eat more beans and seaweed

Summer naps, also known as summer fatigue, are mainly caused by the fact that the human body sweats a lot in summer, and the potassium in the body is lost with sweat and cannot be replenished in time. Beans and seaweed foods are rich in potassium. For example, the potassium content in soybeans, peas, mung beans, broad beans, and edamame is not low. In addition, some fish and seaweed are also good sources of potassium, such as kelp, laver, and yellow croaker. Nori contains 1796 mg of potassium per 100 grams; kelp contains 761 mg of potassium per 100 grams, which is 175 times the amount of sodium.
