TIRED DURING WORK?

Afternoon fatigue is a common complaint that you will hear from your colleagues. Let’s be realistic here. Typically, when you are tired, you are unable to do your work to the fullest which might affect your overall job performance. But sometimes it is not due to lack of sleep that cause this fatigue but other factors. For example, it could be the working environment.

Here are some tips for you to stay awake during work:

1. Drink water

Although caffeine can give you a temporary energy boost, drinking water throughout the day is much healthier as it keeps you alert and productive. That is because dehydration can cause you to lose your concentration throughout work.

2. Keep the workspace bright

Keeping your workspace brightly lit can help your mind to be awake and alert. Changing to a brighter light bulb or even opening the window to allow more light to shine in help to regulate the body's natural circadian rhythms.

3. Stretch and Move Around

Some simple basic stretching at the desk might help if getting up and moving around is not an option. Stretching the arms over the head and rolling the neck side to side can help to loosen muscles and improve blood circulation.

4. Eat Nutritious Food

If your lunch consists of oily processed food or sweetened soft drinks, don’t be surprised that your energy crashes within an hour. Instead, eat a meal that includes healthy fats and protein.
