5 Signs You Need A Break
5 Signs You Need A Break. Once you start having black-outs as soon as you hit the office, when your eyes are half-closed during a movie premier or when you start taking half-naps during traffic congestion then you definitely know that you are run down. Most people; budding entrepreneurs, running candidates, students and new mummies fail to differentiate when they are tired and when they are extremely exhausted. The latter is literally screaming for the body to take a break and below is 5 ways you can pick signs from your body.
Poor Sleeping Habits
Ever experienced going to bed late at night and waking up almost immediately after? RED lights here. What most people refer to as insomnia can trigger exhaustion and completely worsen moods and leave weaker attention spans. Most people experience “sleep procrastination” unknowingly. They postpone their bedtime and fill their schedules with unnecessary activities that eat out on their fully required sleeping hours.
Stress
Everybody experiences stressful times in their lives so it’s not about the stress but how you react to it. Staying up late at night can lead to exhaustion- inducing insomnia. People who deal with stress by ignoring the pressure, distracting themselves or simply running away from their problems may end up feeling very exhausted. Many stand a chance of developing chronic insomnia.
Eating More Junk Than Usual
The more exhausted one is, the more they tend to be attracted to very fatty and high- carbohydrate foods. The body seeks to get to a calming hormone in the brain called Serotonin by ingesting comfort foods full of fats and diets. The other downside of indulging in such comforts foods is that you will only end up much more exhausted.
Fuzzy Mind
Just as your car needs fuel, your body also needs sleep. Neither can function without their needs met. There is 90 minute lapse during your sleep that is often referred to as the REM ( Rapid eye movement) which is crucially important. Disturbing this period will leave your mind very sluggish the next day.
