1207: Healthy Ways to Overcome a Poor Night's Sleep: Tips for a Productive Day Ahead by Michael Levitt of Breakfast Leadership

Effective Strategies for Overcoming Poor Sleep

After a night of poor sleep, it's common to feel sluggish and less productive the following day. To combat this, start the day with a nutritious breakfast high in protein and complex carbohydrates to maintain energy levels. Incorporating brief bursts of movement, like a brisk walk or a short yoga session, can stimulate your body and mind. Take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch and stay hydrated, as dehydration can worsen tiredness. While stimulants like caffeine and nicotine provide short-term energy boosts, it's important to use them responsibly and avoid excessive consumption that can disrupt sleep patterns. Engaging in consistent exercise and maintaining a balanced diet can also improve the quality of sleep. Establishing a regular sleep routine, creating a soothing bedtime habit, and optimizing your sleep environment contribute to better sleep quality. Lastly, avoiding activities that can further disrupt sleep, reducing screen time, and considering short power naps can help overcome sleep issues.
