How often do you feel like finding the perfect, quiet corner in your office to sneak in a cat nap, hoping nobody else notices? I know I would love to crawl into my car and take a quick nap but we all know that is not the thing to do. You probably have a nice lunch and then 3 pm hits. We know the 3 pm slump all too well, and that’s normally when we make a mad dash for the coffee pot. You, feel me?
There are ways to stay on top of your energy levels so you can drift through your day effortlessly, instead of drifting off to sleep.
My favorite ways to do this are…
– Prioritize movement throughout the day. Starting in the morning, I take a short walk or do yoga. On my lunch break, I like to fit in a 15-minute walk around the office or outside to digest my food better and get my blood pumping.
– Prioritize your sleep. Stick to a schedule, so your body knows what to expect and how to use the rest you’re giving it. Here is post I did on sleep vs rest to help you with this. Read it here
– Magnesium at bedtime to relax. It really helps to take away the stress of the day and ease your body into a good night’s sleep. Try the Natural Calm magnesium powder to make a drink before bedtime. It tastes good, too.
Any others that you use that I didn’t list here?
