Do you get up in the morning feeling fuzzy, dizzy, and disoriented? Maybe it takes you a while to perk up, and it’s only once the day is over you begin to feel alive? Many people find themselves in this predicament, and there are a few reasons for it. Ruling out any medical diagnosis is of course, important. However, this could be down to your routines more than anything. Read on for some advice that will allow you to start each day with a clear head:
Focus On Getting Into A Consistent Bedtime Routine
Start by making sure you’re getting enough sleep. This often means making sure you’re going to bed at the same time each night, and getting up at the same time each morning. Too much variation in your bedtime routine can disrupt your sleeping patterns and make it really hard for you to get the sleep you need. It’s wise to aim for 8 hours or more. Anything less than 6-7 and you will likely suffer and have to make up for the sleep deprivation on the weekend, which will throw you out of your routine again. Consistency each day is a must.
Steer Clear Of Blue Light Before Bed
Blue light is the light emitted from your laptop, phone, and TV. Using these appliances right before bed can disrupt your sleeping patterns. Try to have at least an hour before bed without them, reading a book. Using blue light blocking glasses throughout the day can also help.
Stay Hydrated All Day
Drink at least one gallon of water each day. It’s recommended to drink half of your weight in ounces (ex: 160 lbs = 80 ounces of water). The slightest bit of dehydration can cloud your focus and make you feel crummy. Drinking a glass as soon as you get up in the morning can help to kickstart your day. Make sure to do this before coffee or tea!
Make Sure You’re Eating Nourishing Foods
Of course, the foods you eat can make a difference, too. If you eat too much junk, you could easily end up with a ‘food hangover’ – especially if you eat things that you’re a bit intolerant to. You don’t need a ‘perfect’ diet, but you should ensure you’re eating foods that make you feel good the majority of the time.
Wake Up With A Sunrise Alarm Clock
A sunrise alarm clock can help to wake you up gently, especially when it’s dark outside. This can help you to avoid being rudely woken up by your loud, annoying alarm.
Take The Right Supplements
Supplements won’t do all of the work, but they can help alongside a healthy diet and other healthy habits. Taking supplements to improve mental clarity, anxiety, and focus could be key to making sure you feel great. Look into options like Red Malay Kratom to see if it could be for you.
Exercise Before You Start The Day
The piece de resistance – exercise before you start the important tasks of the day. Even better if you can get outside! You may not feel like it, but you’ll feel great once you’ve done it.
