Waking up in the morning is not always the same. Sometimes you wake up feeling light and refreshed, while other times even opening your eyes feels heavy. The question "I slept well last night, why do I feel this way?" is familiar to many. Experts point to factors such as breakfast, nutrition, and chronic habits as reasons for this condition.
1. You drink coffee instead of having breakfast
No time for food? No feeling of hunger? Starting the day with coffee might seem easy sometimes, but it's not the right decision. Coffee provides energy for a few minutes, but it doesn't last long. At the very least, having a piece of protein or carbohydrate-rich breakfast will provide your body with stable energy throughout the day.
2. You choose a diet based on calorie counting
Eating solely based on calories can lead to mistakes. 1500 kcal might be enough, but where are those calories coming from?
- From healthy carbohydrates and proteins;
- Or just from burgers and chips?
In the first case, you feel full and your mood improves. In the second case, your body generates heaviness instead of energy.
3. "Healthy eating" becomes a punishment for you
Buckwheat and dry chicken are very healthy. But if you are forced to eat tasteless meals every day, it leads not only to psychological fatigue but also to serotonin deficiency. Meals should not only be healthy but also tasty and uplifting.
4. Night meals are the reason for morning fatigue
Experts recommend not eating 3-4 hours before sleeping. If your stomach is not calm at night, your whole body cannot rest. While everyone is sleeping, you will be "working" on digestion. This leads to a heavy awakening in the morning.
5. You forget to drink water
Water is the foundation of all vital processes. The rule:
- For women, 31 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight;
- For men, 35 ml of water;
- Evenly distributed throughout the day.
Tea, coffee, and other drinks do not fulfill this norm. The most important glass is the clean water you drink in the morning after waking up.
How you wake up in the morning depends on your choices from the day before
Everyone wants to wake up feeling refreshed and in a good mood. It doesn't take a miracle — just managing your body with love through proper food, the right timing, and adequate water is enough.
