Extreme Tiredness – Little Know Tips to Overcome Constant Tiredness

Feeling too tired everyday can be very irritating so here are some tips that can make you overcome tiredness and help you boost your energy:

· Dance with your Sleep Cycle

Everyone has a sleep cycle – this is the light sleep, medium sleep and the deep sleep. After several minutes into the deep sleep you will enter light sleep again and this cycle happens every hour and thirty minutes or more and this may happen between 4 and 6 times a night.

The thing is that we sometimes wake up during our deep sleep and this can make us feel really tired; it would be better to wake up during light sleep. What you can do is schedule your sleeping time at the same time for one week and adjust your alarm to the number of cycles that you can have and add seven minutes before you close your eyes and go to sleep.

You may ask why seven minutes, why not ten or eleven. This is because seven minutes is the average time before we fall asleep – this means a guaranteed sleep through the different cycles.

· Eat Breakfast

A lot of people skip this very important meal of the day either they're in a hurry or just busy to even grab something to eat in the morning – but think of it this way, if your last meal was at 8 in the evening and if you don’t have breakfast the morning after – it would mean that you have not fed your body any fuel for energy.

· Check your health

Check to see if you have an illness because of the tiredness and fatigue you feel.

· Walk briskly daily

Taking a short walk is actually better and more invigorating than taking a short nap – it boosts your mood, gives you more energy and keeps your blood pumping.

But note that although taking brisk walks can energize you, taking short naps can help as well – and note that 20 minutes of naptime is way better than sleeping for 2 hours – in fact, sleeping more than 20 minutes will make you enter into your deep sleep and you will feel groggy. Remember though that there are techniques on how to take a correct nap.
