Falling asleep during the day can be relaxing and re-energize you for a night out later. However, sleeping during an important meeting or class can lead to yelling, detention or even losing your job. Reckless slumbering also often leads to missing out on the entire day, as comfortable as it may seem.

Getting a good night’s sleep is the most important step to keeping yourself awake during the day. A good 8 hours is recommended, so it’s best to finish your work early so you can be in bed by 10 o’clock.

Eating is an easy way to keep you awake and energized when you’re hungry. An empty stomach is a major cause of sleepiness in people. The food affects the hypothalamus and regulates its production of sleep-causing hormones.

If you are feeling tired at work, try to take frequent small walks in the office space intermittently. It will help activate and energize your brain.

Remember to give your eyes a break and occasionally look away from your screen is you work on a computer most of the day. Monitors continuously re-display their contents and the brain cannot pick up on these changes, but your eyes can and it makes them extremely tired.

Although it is impossible to feel fully rested every day, maintaining a healthy diet as well as getting a good night’s sleep the night before are great steps to helping yourself remain energized throughout the day.
