By Roshni Tamta | First Published Oct 12, 2024, 6:31 PM ISTFeeling tired in the morning despite enough sleep? Learn about the causes—irregular sleep, stress, screen time, poor lifestyle, and health issues—and easy solutions to overcome them.
Morning Weakness Causes: Waking up without feeling refreshed affects the entire day's work. Often, even after a full night's sleep, we feel tired in the morning. Although 7-8 hours of sleep is considered sufficient, if you still feel like you haven't slept all night, be alert. This has become a common problem. Today, we'll discuss some possible causes and provide tips to help you overcome this issue.
Reduce Screen Time
Latest Videos
Most people are glued to their mobile phones and TVs before bed. This negatively impacts sleep quality. If you don't sleep well at night, you won't feel good in the morning. So, put away your electronic gadgets before going to bed.
Irregular Sleep
Not having a regular sleep-wake schedule causes problems. It affects the body's biological clock (circadian rhythm) and deteriorates sleep quality. If you want to feel refreshed in the morning, make it a habit to sleep and wake up at the same time daily.
Stressful Life
If you're stressed all day, it negatively impacts your brain. Stress prevents your mind from resting, making it difficult to get deep sleep. Yoga, meditation, and pranayama techniques can help manage stress.
Lifestyle
Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and excessive caffeine intake can also cause fatigue. Nutritional deficiencies prevent the body from getting enough energy. Eat a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and protein. Exercise regularly.
Dinner Time
Eating heavy meals at night slows down digestion, disrupting sleep and making you feel tired in the morning. Eat a light meal 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Sleep Environment
If your sleep environment isn't quiet and dark, it can disturb your sleep. Noise or bright light can repeatedly interrupt sleep. Make your room quiet, dark, and comfortable. Use earplugs if there's too much noise.
Health Problems
Certain illnesses, such as thyroid issues, anemia, sleep apnea, or other sleeping disorders, can also cause persistent fatigue. Consult a doctor and get tested if fatigue persists.
Sedentary Lifestyle
If you don't exercise regularly, your body's energy levels decrease, and you feel sluggish. Include at least 30 minutes of physical activity in your daily routine.
