All day, at work or just outside your home, you feel full of energy, and when you return to your home harbor you feel a breakdown and think only about how to get to bed faster?
If all this takes place in your life, then most likely in the house something just “eats” your strength.
Psychologists and physiologists have long established that some of the things that are present in our homes and apartments can imperceptibly provoke fatigue for their owners.
Introducing 10 things in the house that take your vitality.
10. Your smartphone
According to the National Sleep Organization, almost a fifth of all young people under the age of 30 wake up at least once during a night's sleep to read incoming messages. Even if you put your smartphone in silent mode, a sudden flash of light from the screen is likely to interrupt your sleep.
In addition, do not forget about the blue range of visible radiation, which inhibits the production by the glands of the internal secretion of the hormone - melatonin, on which the quality of a person's sleep largely depends.
The result of such nightly correspondence can be chronic fatigue, depression, and decreased performance.
If you do not want such a fate for yourself, then before going to bed, remove the smartphone away from the bed (and preferably from the room), and instead use the good old-fashioned alarm clock.
9. Down blinds and blackout curtains
Now, some design decisions suggest the presence of blinds or curtains made of dense material. However, if you regularly feel that you do not have enough energy throughout the day to complete the simplest tasks, then try adding a little more natural light to the interior.
Of course, quality sleep requires darkness. However, in order not to feel sleepy in the old day, let the light into the rooms.
8. Cool room
We all know that a cold shower helps to cheer up in the morning, however, if a cool temperature is kept in your home all the time, then in such an environment you will constantly feel sleepy.
Therefore, the air in the bedroom should ideally be 19 ° C.
Of course, in a room that is too hot it will also be almost impossible to fall asleep, so do not overdo it. Just do not forget to air it before going to bed - this measure helps many to comfortably fall into a dream.
7. Chips, sweets and other tasty harmful
These products are harmful not only to the gastric mucosa and the rest of the digestive tract, but also to your activity throughout the day.
They are especially harmful before bedtime. Even if you don’t really worry about the safety of your waist, then at least think that such a huge amount of glucose and simple carbohydrates will instantly drive away sleep, and this, in turn, will affect your condition over the next day, when at night vigor will have to pay drowsiness after.
6. Scented candles
The greatest harm to our well-being is caused by the wonderful aroma of lavender. Many people love this smell in perfumes and in the means to remove stench, however, according to scientists, it can provoke insomnia.
Therefore, it will be more useful to replace lavender with the smell of mint or some citrus fruits.
In this case, it should be remembered that scented candles can not be abused.
Too much accumulation of bright aromas in one room can cause headaches and cause fatigue.
5. Wine before bedtime
You do not abuse alcohol, but sometimes you like in the evening, looking at the lilac sunset, to enjoy a glass of red wine with pacifying music?
In general, there is nothing catastrophic in this, if only you do this at least 3 hours before bedtime. But if you allow yourself to drink alcohol and then immediately go to bed, then do not be surprised that the next day you will not have enough vigor and energy for business.
This is due to the fact that, contrary to a common misconception, small doses of alcohol before bedtime give not a good sleep, but a restless night. And, as a result, weakness throughout the next day.
4. Strong coffee
We all know that strong coffee in the morning is the most effective way to recharge your batteries for the whole day. However, this is only partially true.
Undoubtedly, coffee can really tone and give energy. But, unfortunately, the effect of this energy will not be very long, and when it ends, with a greater probability, you will feel tired even more. This roughly happens after four hours.
Therefore, for a cup of coffee during lunch, we often pay drowsiness at home.
3. Sleep under the TV
You probably know that sleeping under the TV is a very bad habit. And we are talking not only about the useless waste of electricity, but about the harm that you do to your health in this way.
The thing is that the blue range of visible radiation suppresses the production of the same melatonin, due to which a person becomes drowsy at the end of the day.
As a result, the night’s sleep becomes fragmentary and shallow, so after waking up you won’t be able to feel completely rested, which will necessarily affect your performance during the day.
2. Walls of blue color
You may be surprised, but according to a study by American scientists, the blue color, it is this calming shade of the walls, provokes a decrease in heart rate and reduces heart pressure. Due to this, a person begins to feel sleepy.
1. The mess
Of course, due to the increased workload at work or with children, you may simply not find the physical strength to restore order at home.
However, you should keep in mind that the constant mess in the house keeps your brain in constant tension. And a similar psychological burden becomes the cause of the development of nervous exhaustion and, as a result, a feeling of chronic fatigue.
To get rid of permanent stress, accustom yourself every weekend to devote at least one hour to cleaning your home.
