7 Reasons That Can Keep You Tired
1. You Sleep with Your Phone Next to You.
If you are used to sleep with the phone next to you, probably you also get to bed with it and as soon as you wake up you check messages. Sometimes, leaving your phone outside the bedroom is a simple way to switch off completely, or put in plane's mode.
2. You Don't Go to Bed at the Same Time.
Your body has an internal clock. Constantly changing your bedtime and wake-up time can disrupt your circadian rhythm.
3. You Eat Heavy Meals Late at Night.
A large meal just before bedtime can make it harder to sleep, especially if you suffer from acid reflux or digestive discomfort. Your body can rest and digest at the same time, but not always comfortably.
4. You Drink Alcohol Before Going To Sleep.
It may help you fall asleep, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a good night's rest. Alcohol can fragment your sleep and alter its different stages.
5. You Haven't Seen Any Natural Light All Morning.
Natural light helps regulate your body clock. Light coming through a window counts too, but spending some time outdoors in the morning usually exposes you to much brighter light. Your body needs that signal to tell day from night.
6. You're Tired of Something That Isn't Physical.
A job that means nothing to you, an unresolved conversation, a decision you've been putting off for months. Stress and emotional strain can also affect your sleep and how you feel when you wake up. Sometimes, tiredness is a messenger.
7. You Don't Know How to Switch Off.
You can sleep for eight hours and still wake up exhausted. Stress, worries and recurring thoughts can affect the quality of your sleep. Sleeping and resting are related, but they're not always the same thing. You also need to figure out what's stopping you from switching off.
