If you find your energy levels dipping during the day, it might be time to switch up your routine. Here are some small changes you can make to boost your energy levels during the day.
Switch Up Your Bedtime Routine
When you’re working from home, it can be difficult to keep it regular sleeping hours. It’s easy to stay up late catching another episode or two of the series you are watching or trade in your alarm for a morning lie-in.
Although this can be beneficial every once in a while, having a consistent seven-day sleep cycle can lead to better sleep and increased energy levels during the day. This means getting up at a similar time every day, even on the weekends.
Exercise More
You don’t need a strict, intense exercise routine to feel the benefits of boosted endorphins and increased energy. Adding a quick ten-minute workout to your morning routine can give you the boost you need to get started with your day.
Take Vitamins
B12 deficiency is common among vegetarians and vegans as this vitamin can only be found in animal products. Taking vitamins and supplements prevents deficiency and the fatigue that comes with it.
Unwind and Increase Me-Time
Stress and anxiety are major causes of fatigue. Working long hours can take a massive toll on our mental and physical health. Taking time our of your day to relax and recharge can have a big impact on your energy levels throughout the day. When you feel yourself flagging, try taking a ten minute break to practice mindfulness or have a chat with a friend.
