Afternoon drowsiness can be caused by a weakening of the body in the spring, lack of sunlight and adequate night's sleep, lack of fresh air in the room, irregular working days, alcohol abuse and tonic drinks. Thus, the body accumulates fatigue, a person becomes lethargic and constantly tends to sleep right at the workplace.
Instructions
Step 1
Even if you slept well the night before, the stale air of a stuffy closed room will do its job, inevitably causing drowsiness. Open windows, swing open doors, provide fresh air. Especially it tones up if it's spring or winter outside. A fresh stream of oxygen will saturate the lungs and brain cells, increase blood flow. Look out the open window or even go out into the street, but do not smoke, but breathe deeply for 3-5 minutes. Sleep will take off.
Step 2
Refresh your face with cold water. Washing the skin dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow. If you have makeup on your face, moisten the handkerchief and wipe off the loose areas of your face. Place a handkerchief over your forehead and temples. Don't wipe your face. Wait a couple of minutes for the skin to wake up, then blot with a tissue.
Step 3
Don't sit glued to the computer all day. Get up, stretch, stretch, walk around, do exercises. Bend over, squat with outstretched arms, stretch up, placing your hands on your waist, make several turns left and right. Physical activity will give a powerful boost of vivacity, distract from work and wake up the falling asleep body.
Step 4
For invigorating drinks, give preference to black tea or green tea. You can drink a glass of cool lime water, one small cup of coffee. Don't drink more than two cups of coffee a day. This will provoke insomnia and fatigue. Also, don't drink alcohol. Despite the fact that after taking a glass or a shot of an alcoholic drink, you will feel a surge of energy, this is a deceiving impression. After 10 to 20 minutes, you will feel very sleepy. And official etiquette prohibits drinking at work.
Step 5
Grab yourself a small snack. Fruits, raw vegetables, nuts, dark chocolate are perfect for this. Not only will such a diet not lead to overeating and a drowsy feeling of fullness, it will also stimulate the production of serotonin and endorphins in the blood, which, as you know, are hormones of joy and pleasure.
