4 Tips To Get Rid Of Daytime Drowsiness

It goes without saying that the monsoon makes you sluggish. From low energy to increased drowsiness, navigating these wet months can be a challenge. While we cannot avoid the sleepiness that comes with the rainy season, we can surely try some effective tips to stay awake, especially during work hours.

How To Get Rid Of Daytime Drowsiness

Here are some effective tips to keep drowsiness at bay:

Take A Walk Whenever You Feel Sleepy

Studies have shown that walking briskly for about 10 minutes can increase your energy level for the next two hours. When you walk, there’s an enhanced level of oxygen pumping through your brain and muscles. If you have a desk job then it will be wise to get up often to walk for a short time. This will make you feel more awake and refreshed when you get back to work.

Take A Short Nap And Don’t Forget To Put An Alarm

If you are feeling too sleepy to continue work then taking a 10-15 minutes nap won’t hurt. It not only eliminates the drowsiness but also helps you regain energy and feel refreshed to restart work with enthusiasm. Also, don’t forget to set a 15-minute alarm so your nap doesn't turn into a 4-hour sleep session.
