ARE you too tired to take in an afternoon lecture? Collapsing into bed, totally exhausted by the end of every day?
If you’re doing too much, then you have to examine your class schedule again.
But if you’re tired without good reason, and every day is a struggle, then check out these tips and put some energy back into your day.
Work your body
Make space every day for a brisk 15-minute walk (make sure it’s brisk and not loitering) or do something fun at least three times a week, such as playing tennis or paintball.
Understand your brain on sugar
Our brains run on glucose but our bodies can’t store it.
If you don’t eat often enough, your glucose or blood sugar levels drop, and your brain drops out of gear, too.
But if you overeat, the body can’t cope and the excess sugar is stored as fat – this is not good for you at all.
So the trick to keeping your brain fuelled is to make sure that you have a constant flow of blood sugar.
Do this by eating four or five small meals throughout the day rather than a few snacks and one big meal.
