Can't sleep?
in Health ·
I honestly think you’re just running on empty rather than actually being sleep-deprived.
What does a typical day look like for you?
I went through a phase like this once when my whole life was just staring at books, scrolling on my laptop, or bingeing TV... eating way too many heavy carbs and just living a really sluggish lifestyle.
I was getting plenty of sleep, but I still felt like a zombie all day long.
Try adding a bit more movement into the mix. It doesn't have to be a grueling workout—even just an hour of brisk walking can make a huge difference.
Watch out for too much caffeine and soda; sugar gives you that quick spike, but it'll leave you hanging. Also, try to force yourself to hit the sack at the same time every night.
On top of that, the heat can really drain you and make you feel lethargic. During those times, a quick afternoon nap—maybe thirty minutes to an hour—can be great for hitting the reset button.
