Whether you couldn’t catch enough sleep at night or you have
been partying the whole night, you might want to know some tips on how to remain
stir when you are feeling drowsy and exhausted. When the body is screaming
sleep, it’s a bad thing to force yourself to stay alert. However, sometimes we
have plenty of important tasks to accomplish and we need to stay awake no
matter what.
Take a look at the list of 10 tips on how to remain stir when you
are feeling drowsy and exhausted. Hopefully, they’ll help you.
1.
Natural sunlight
Natural sunlight is a quick and effective mood booster. It
encourages Vitamin D production and helps to protect you from seasonal mood
changes. Natural sunlight also helps to keep you awake when you are feeling
sleepy. Just open your curtains and let the the sunshine in.
2.
Drink more water
If you’re dehydrated, you might feel even more tired. While
it’s essential to drink enough water each day, you need to drink a bit more
when you are feeling sleepy and tired to stay awake. Drinking a pint of cold
water is a great way to refresh yourself on a hot summer day and to stay more
alert when you are tired.
3. Eat
the right foods
When you’re feeling sleepy, it’s important to pay attention
to your diet. Don’t skip breakfast and make sure your lunch doesn’t consist of
fatty foods. Try eating mini meals throughout the day which are rich in
protein, and avoid coffee and energy drinks.
4. Take
a walk
Sitting down won’t help you stay awake. When you feel very
sleepy, go for a walk even if you have lots of tasks to accomplish. It really
is an effective way to stay awake when you are feeling sleepy and tired. If you
are at work and you are not allowed to go too far, then make a drink or walk to
a your coworker’s desk.
5. Take
deep breaths
A breathing technique can also help you stay awake. Start
breathing in and out through your nose and pull your belly toward your
diaphragm. Try to do this quickly to feel more alert. You can do it on your
lunch break.
6.
Listen to upbeat music
Listening to upbeat music that gets you tapping your feet
will help you feel alert in no time. Avoid listening to relaxing music, such as
classic music as it can make you sleepier. I often use this way and I can tell
that it really works.
7. Get
active each 30 minutes
Spending the whole day in front of the computer or TV can
make feel tired and sleepy. To keep you feeling awake, your body needs to keep
active. Get up and stretch your legs every 30 minutes to feel more alert during
the day.
8.
Fresh air
When you are feeling sleepy, a breath of fresh air might be
something you need to feel more alert. If you are at work, open the windows or
get outside during your break or lunch time. If you are in the car, open a
window to refresh the air in your car as often as possible.
9. Take
a shower
If you’re working from home and you need to stay awake, then
take a shower. If you’re at work and you can’t take a shower, splash your face
with cold water to wake up and feel more alert. It can be hard to do, but it
will certainly help you feel less sleepy.
10.
Take a nap
