7 Tips To Keep You Awake - Naturally

More and more people come to me with sleeping problems.

Here are some tips to help you stay awake naturally - without taking drugs:

1. Get Up and Move Around to Feel Awake. Stetch yourself- it will feel good.


2.Take a Power Nap to Take the Edge Off Sleepiness – between 5 and 20 minutes.

Power naps can be taken sitting as well ask laying down.


If sitting, hold a pencil as if about to write and try to fall asleep. As you nod off you will drop the pencil. You mind will automatically wake up… This was Einstein’s method of power napping.


3. Give Your Eyes a Rest every so often.
Try to give your eyes a 5 minute rest every hour. Wash them. Close them.


4. Eat Natural Energy Food during the day.
 
Peanut butte, nuts, carrots, bananas I find work very well- filling and energy giving, without bloating. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water.



5.  Talk to Someone Interesting… about something you find interesting.


6. Check the Lighting in your Room – make sure your space is well lit.


7. Switch Tasks Every So Often – don’t get bored, stimulate your mind.


Above all… HAVE FUN :)

  1. Thanks Alex,

    I have not been able to go a whole day without tacking a nap or two for quite a while now - think I am really run down so I shall take your advice on board.
