Tired
of Feeling Tired?
Brrrrrrriiiiiiiinnngggg! When the alarm
goes off, do you:
A. Spring immediately out of bed, shouting, “It's going to be a great day!”
B. Moan, hit the snooze button and then pull the sheets over your head.
If your answer is A, then good for you. In the more likely event that your answer is B, don’t worry, help is on the way. Here are suggestions on how to quickly shake off the morning blahs and greet the day more refreshed.

Go to Sleep the Right Way
The
best way to wake up refreshed is to get a good night’s sleep. This means:
No
caffeine after lunch since
caffeine can be a stimulant and keep you awake. And only one glass of wine at
dinner. Too much wine can knock you out, then cause you to wake up during the
night.
Make
sure your room is cool. “The drop off in temperature is a natural cue for
your body to fall asleep,” W. Christopher Winter, MD, Medical Director at the
Martha Jefferson Sleep Center in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Don’t
exercise near bedtime—it
will just rouse your body.
Stay
off the computer—and
away from any lit screen—an hour before bed. The light makes your brain think
it’s day time. (If you must, download F.lux at stereopsis.com/flux. It’s a free
software program that makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the
light in the room.)
