Lack of sleep is not the only cause of chronic energy shortage in humans. Various things are capable of causing loss of energy to a greater or lesser extent. We do not even suspect that some of them are important.
Skipping sports during fatigue
Do not think that by doing so you will save more energy. Sedentary people, who decide to be involved in sports at least three times a week for 20 minutes, experience less fatigue and exhaustion after 6 weeks of regular training. And skipping workouts quickly leads to the lack of energy and loss of strength.
Insufficient water
Even mild dehydration (losing 2% of liquid) affects the level of energy, as it reduces the volume of blood. The heart works less efficiently, and our organs are getting less oxygen.
Lack of iron in the diet
Iron deficiency leads to fatigue, irritability, weakness and problems with concentration.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism makes us work harder and longer than necessary. People set unrealistic goals, and when they do not reach them they cannot feel satisfied.
Skipping breakfast
Food is the fuel the body needs. In the morning, we get the most important meal. If you skip it, you will feel tired during the whole day.
Indecision
According to psychologists, inability to say “no” sooner or later leads to a strong emotional depletion and loss of energy.
A glass of wine before going to bed
Before bedtime you need to lie down and read a nice book. Reading e-mails, watching action movies, doing sports or drinking a glass of wine raises the level of energy without giving normal sleep. However, you will lack energy the next day.
