6 tips to refresh your mind in summer

White-collar workers, what should you do if you feel sleepy easily in summer? Take a look at these measures, I hope they can help you get rid of the trouble of sleepiness.

1. Place plants in the office

Plant a pot of rosemary in your office. Not only does it beautify the environment and add to the atmosphere, but studies have shown that its scent can lift your spirits.

2. Walk more and rest more

When you are tired, you might as well walk out of the office and sit in the sun for 10 minutes. This can help you reset your biological clock. At the same time, breathing fresh air can also help you lower the level of melatonin secretion (sleep hormone).

Eat more protein-rich foods, such as fish, meat, eggs, beans and other foods. Carbohydrate foods should be eaten less, such as rice, pasta, etc. Because these carbohydrates stimulate the release of serotonin in the blood, causing drowsiness.

1. Micro-exercise

In the office, you can do some micro exercise. For example, shake your shoulders back and forth and take a deep breath with each movement for 2 minutes to reduce drowsiness.

2. Gentle finger tapping massage

When you feel dizzy, you can try gently tapping your head with the tips of your fingers. This is a good way to refresh yourself. First tap the top of the head, then divide the back of the head into two areas, left and right, and tap carefully and gently. There is no specific technique, but the force should be gentle, otherwise the person will become more dizzy. In addition, a golden triangle thymus can be drawn from the bottom of the neck to the nipple. Tapping this area with your fingers can relieve chest tightness and stagnation, make the chest more open and the breathing smoother, relieve fatigue and refresh the mind.

3. Hot stone massage for a soothing neck

Choose a warm and smooth stone, preferably with one side that is relatively flat. Place it in hot water so that the stone is warm. Slowly slide the stone along the shoulder and neck line to allow the heat to be transmitted to the shoulder and neck area, which will bring warmth and comfort, and drive away fatigue.

5. Eat a small amount of dark chocolate

Have a small bite of dark chocolate as it contains healthy fats and antioxidants and a small amount of caffeine to perk up your mood.

6. Use peppermint oil

Put a few drops of peppermint oil on your hands, rub them together, and then rub them on your face. Peppermint has an energy-boosting aroma that ensures you stay awake all night.

Most of the working time of the day is in the afternoon. Only when you are energetic can you be efficient at work. A good rest at noon, coupled with these little ways to boost your energy, will make you passionate about working all day long.
