Are you someone who feels tired when you wake up? Do you constantly feel groggy after getting out of bed? If someone asks you how you were feeling, would “tired” be the word you use?

If you answered yes to any or all of those questions, there is a good chance that fatigue is troubling you! It is important that you stop for fuel when you are on a long drive and fatigue is a sign that your body needs to do just that.

Here are a few ways in which you can replenish your energy and get right back on track.

 

1.Get Yourself Checked

The first step before deciding how to combat fatigue is to ensure that you are not tired because of a  medical problem – this includes taking a test, visiting your doctor and ensuring you rule out any medical reason.

 

2.Exercise

While it seems counterproductive that exercising when you are already feeling so tired can help you feel better, it is the ultimate truth! Get out and move your body and ensure that you get some or any sort of exercise. It could be yoga or strength training or even just a walk – the adrenalin rush will help your body stay fit and give you some much-needed energy.

3.Monitor Your Sleep

Two aspects of sleep are important – are you getting enough and are you getting quality sleep? Take stock of these two and try to fix your sleep cycle. This involves getting up and going to bed at the same time every day and ensuring you sleep really well. Leaving your gadgets behind is also a good idea before you go to sleep!

 

4.Lose Weight

Being obese can be a reason for fatigue – if you are obese or even slightly overweight, make sure you work towards losing weight so that you get fit but also feel better!

5.Fix your diet

If you are feeling super tired and drained – one of the most important things you should be doing is fixing your diet! Are you getting enough nutrients? Ensure you take a second look at your diet and add anything that might help you feel healthier.
