But experts believe that many people refer to "drowsiness" as "fatigue". There is a difference between the two. Fatigue is a feeling of laziness that can't be eliminated no matter how long you sleep. When a healthy person feels groggy during the day, it is either because of lack of sleep or because of poor sleep quality. With these differences in mind, the following suggestions will help you to eliminate fatigue.

First, get enough sleep

Most adults need to sleep for 6-8 hours every night. Ironically, some people sleep too much, thinking that the more the better. As a result, they sleep over and over again, which means the quality of sleep is poor.

how to determine the sleep time? Expert advice: go to bed at normal time in the first week; Put off going to bed for one hour in the second week; In the third week, I went to bed one hour earlier than normal. After three weeks, think about which week you can fall asleep within 5 ~ 3 minutes after going to bed, and wake up with a fresh mind. When you wake up, you will naturally rather than be awakened. This week's sleep time is most suitable for you.

Among hundreds of body rhythms that reflect our feelings, one is the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, the release of cortisone hormones is also related to sleep. Before going to bed, the cortisone level decreased; It rose to normal again before waking up. If you change your sleep habits, such as working at night or traveling to another area, you will be unable to sleep and sleepy when you wake up because of the confusion of sleep-wake cycle and cortisone release. This situation will take a few days to correct.

Second, arrange your diet reasonably

Eating too much lunch causes fatigue. Because too much food transfers blood and oxygen from the brain to the digestive tract. In this way, the head will be dizzy.

High-fat food and refined sugar are two major criminals. Fat takes longer to convert into energy than other nutrients, while refined sugar will lead to a sudden peak of insulin, followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar. If this peak state and trough state continue to circulate, headaches and fatigue will occur. In order to solve this kind of problem, we can eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain bread) and unrefined sugar (such as fruit) instead.

A full lunch will make you sleepy, but a full meal at night will have the opposite effect. It will keep your digestive system working and make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

3. Intake sufficient vitamins and iron

At present, the role of science in vitamins is not completely clear, but the lack of vitamins does affect the degree of human fatigue. Water-soluble C and B vitamins are most easily lost from the body, so they need to be supplemented, and women of childbearing age should also pay attention to supplementing iron.

The more vitamins, the better. Too many vitamins can cause poisoning, such as too many vitamins A and D that the body can't excrete. Therefore, taking vitamins must follow the doctor's advice.

Fourth, look for the potential causes of fatigue

Caffeine Your body will be dependent on caffeine, and you will feel tired when you miss your hobby.

Smoking will reduce the oxygen consumption of the body and the level of vitamin C, so it will weaken people's energy.

Both antihistamines and drugs for controlling hypertension and heart disease can cause drowsiness. Every time you take a medicine, you should first ask about its side effects.

5. Exercise actively

Why do most people feel lazy at noon? One of the reasons is that a low point of the sleep-wake cycle is at noon. At this time, it is good to go out for a breath of fresh air and walk around. Exercise will speed up the flow of oxygen in the body and mind, thus speeding up the circulation and making people active. It's good to exercise at light to moderate intensity for 2 to 4 minutes every day. It will also help you not to doze off at noon.

and some people think that fatigue is beneficial, just like batteries need to be recharged. Scientific point of view holds that fatigue is a sign of the repair of some organs of the body and the only way for the body to recover. So the best way to get tired is to have a rest so that the body can handle its own affairs. 1. drink iced coffee

strong sunlight will damage the skin. drinking iced coffee will not only feel super cool, but also the caffeine in it can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays and reduce the risk of DNA damage and skin cancer. Dr David Groto, an American nutrition expert, suggested that it is best to add a small piece of dark chocolate to coffee, which can enhance the vascular function by 129%.

2. Eat beef in moderation

People who like to eat meat are happier. If they eat 2-3 pieces of beef every day, they can also provide the body with omega-3 fatty acids that are good for heart and brain health and mineral zinc that strengthens bones. However, if you eat barbecue, it is best to roast the meat in a microwave oven until it is half cooked, and then roast it with charcoal fire, which can reduce carcinogens.

3. Have fun drinking sparkling wine

There are many fruit-flavored sparkling wines on the market, which are not only delicious and suitable for drinking in summer, but also made from red wine and fruit juice. Red wine contains resveratrol, and fruit juice is rich in antioxidants, which can promote cardiovascular health.

4. Watching hilarious movies

Laughing helps to reduce the level of cortisol, a harmful stress hormone in the blood. Studies have shown that movies that can make people laugh constantly can relax and expand blood vessels in just 15 minutes, and the elasticity is better, thus preventing the occurrence of heart disease.

5. Take a nap at noon

Churchill, Kennedy and Einstein all loved taking a nap. Frequent siesta not only enhances memory and learning ability, but also reduces the death rate of heart disease by 34%.

6. Go shopping when you have nothing to do

Shopping is a good aerobic exercise, which can not only exercise leg strength, but also help burn calories. American studies have found that walking for three hours a week can make brain cells more active.

7. Have sex regularly

People who have sex frequently not only sleep better, have less pain and have stronger immunity, but also have lower blood pressure than those who have less sex, which reduces the risk of heart disease by half. "Office workers" often sit for hours or even more, which makes them often in a state of fatigue. Clinical studies have found that if a person is in a state of fatigue for a long time, his circulatory system, digestive system and motor system will be affected. In the long run, diseases will come uninvited.
