Night attacks and shelling continue to disturb Ukrainians, depriving them of peace and rest during the night. Russia actively uses drones and missiles, aiming them at the territory of Ukraine. During such a period of stress and danger, it is difficult to maintain a normal sleep, and this can affect the physical and mental situation of people.
Tips on how to help yourself after a sleepless night and restore energy the next day:
- Protein food: instead of sweet, which can increase drowsiness, you should choose protein food. Eggs, fish, meat or cheese activate neurons that contribute to vigor.
- Coffee: One or two cups of coffee can add energy, but you should avoid large doses of caffeine to avoid anxiety.
- Daytime Sleep: A short daytime duration of 20-30 minutes can help restore strength. It is important to limit sleep time and not sleep after 2:00 pm.
- Walking in the open air: physical activity stimulates the brain, and sunlight signals the time of body and activity. It is important to avoid heavy workouts during this period.
- Condemnation to yourself: to lie at work for your condition can make the situation worse. Instead, it is important to honestly discuss with the management of your inability to function full and possibly negotiate a reduction in the workload.
It is also important to try to provide a full sleep in the following days and pay attention to your own psychophysical health.
