What to do if you don't get enough sleep

Lack of sleep at night has an adverse effect on our body and mind, especially for students. Long-term lack of sleep will make us feel anxious and bored, develop an aversion to learning, and reduce our concentration and memory. For most office workers, they must have clear and agile thinking and sufficient physical strength at work in order to better complete the tasks assigned by their boss. If we lack sleep for a long time, our work efficiency will be seriously reduced. So what should we do if we don’t get enough sleep? The following article explains it in detail.

First: The first thing people who lack sleep should do when they wake up every morning is to wash their face with cold water. This can effectively relieve your fatigue in a short period of time. You can take this method whenever you feel sleepy. Think about happy things and keep your cerebral cortex in an extremely excited state.

Second: For many people, they have to watch TV and use the computer for a long time every night. Even if they study or work for a day, they still play the computer for a long time. The brain will be more tired the next day, so we must insist on sleeping 8 hours a day and play less computer.

Third: Exercising for 5 minutes after getting up not only recharges the body, but also doubles the calorie burning. Many people mistakenly believe that morning exercise requires getting up at 5 o'clock and running several kilometers. In fact, this is unnecessary and unrealistic. You only need to spend 5 minutes doing push-ups and jumping exercises to speed up your heart rate and achieve the desired effect; or you can punch 100 times in front of the mirror and feel the process of energy accumulation.

Fourth: Even if you have a good breakfast, by 10:30 in the morning, the glycogen stored the previous day will be almost used up. If you want to feel recharged for the rest of the day, you must add a snack at this time. A piece of chocolate, or an energy bar or a few biscuits can not only replenish energy, but also effectively prevent overeating at lunch.

Fifth: Poor sitting posture, slouching when walking, hunching shoulders and sticking out belly, these are usually signs that your energy has been depleted. If you sit in the office for seven or eight hours and cannot maintain the correct posture, you will feel more tired. Whether you are standing or sitting, you should tighten your abdomen, straighten your waist, relax your shoulders, and feel your neck slightly stretched.

Sixth: Do not drink caffeinated energy drinks before going to bed. Also do not drink tea or soda water, as they will make you more and more energetic. A little bit of red wine can help you sleep, but don't drink too much. Excessive drinking will make you drowsy and you will have a headache the next day.

In our lives, we need to increase our sleep time so that we can be in a good mood every day. No matter how tired we are from work or study, we must take some time to rest well and ensure adequate sleep. Reduce psychological worries, reduce stress in our daily life, and live happily!
