Three Ways To Beat Chronic Fatigue!

                                            3  TIPS TO BEAT CHRONIC FATIGUE 

Chronic fatigue is one of the most common ailments nowadays

Because it sometimes feels like no matter how much sleep you get, you just can’t manage to get up and feel energized for most of the day, every day, so you can take on your day and your life with enthusiasm.

This lack of energy throughout the day, this chronic tiredness, is something you’d expect to happen to people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, but it’s happening to 20 and 30-year-olds, 15-year-olds, and young people who are supposed to have this youthful exuberance but find themselves operating in life with sluggishness and dread.

I know because I’ve been there!

So many times, in fact, that it forced me to dig deep and figure out what are the things that will genuinely contribute to me having more energy and how I can make those things happen on a daily basis. And, after all of my research and self-experimentation, I’ve discovered that the most significant things are the ones you hear all the time.

“Sleep, Exercise, and Diet.”

You may be tempted to click away from this story right now since you already know what’s going on. But that’s precisely where I got into difficulties.

I was using a checklist to keep track of my sleep, exercise, and food. It’s like, “Yeah, I got a good night’s sleep, I work out, I’m a physically fit individual, Yes, I consume food. So those items can’t be the source of my tiredness.”

So I started Googling for quick fixes, thinking I might be lacking in iron, have a gluten sensitivity, or need to decalcify my pineal gland.

I ignored the basics in search of a magic drug that would make me feel more energized throughout the day. It wasn’t until I went back to the basics and tried to nail them that I discovered what had been the issue all along.

 

So here's a few things I’ve done in my life that have consistently provided me with greater energy throughout the day. And, hopefully, they will also work for you

1. I Stopped Misusing Caffeine

Caffeine is one of those strange substances. People believe they have a good understanding of how caffeine works. You've probably heard that caffeine has a half-life of five to seven hours. So, don’t consume too much caffeine in the afternoon, or you might have trouble sleeping.

Caffeine, on the other hand, has an odd property: it lasts far longer than five to seven hours. Caffeine has a half-life of five to seven hours. And half-life means that half of the caffeine is still in your system after five to seven hours. After then, it takes another five to seven hours for half of the caffeine in your system to leave your system.

When you’re meant to be sleeping the deepest, most restorative sleep of your life, it’s late at night. This is the type of sleep that aids in the construction of memories, the processing of information received throughout the day, and the formation of connections that lead to new ideas, allowing you to be more creative.

The kind of sleep that’s supposed to be repairing your muscles and ridding your body of adenosine so you don’t wake up exhausted. While you’re sleeping, your body is doing a number of critical tasks, and the caffeine in your system is substantially hindering those processes.

2. Allow your body to rest for a while.

Another thing I started doing was giving myself a lot more opportunities to sleep.

Everyone has heard that you need eight hours of sleep per night, but the truth is that you’ll need to be in bed for far longer to sleep that long. Every night, it takes me around half an hour to 45 minutes to fall asleep. As a result, I need to go to bed half an hour or 45 minutes before I plan on falling asleep.

And as a result, I am able to obtain the rest that I require every night. Because the advantages of getting a good night’s sleep are cumulative. You know, if you allow yourself that much time every single night, your average quantity of sleep will increase over time.

So try to give yourself additional sleeping opportunities.

 

 

3. My Circadian Rhythm was Restored.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, your circadian rhythm is an internal clock that tells your brain whether it is day or night. When should you be provided energy, and when should you slow down and prepare for bed?

And sunlight controls a large part of your circadian cycle. How bright or dark the environment is around you.

This is why you’ve probably heard that you shouldn’t use social media, use your phone, or stare at screens right before night, and you’re correct. Your brain thinks it’s daytime while you’re looking at all this blue light. So it’s not supplying you with the melatonin that your brain needs to signal that it’s time to wind down and go to bed.

So, one thing that has really helped me is avoiding looking at screens right before bedtime. In particular, not in bed. That way, my brain will be able to produce enough melatonin.
