Sleep quality issues: Nowadays many people are facing a common problem. Despite getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night, one feels tired as soon as one wakes up in the morning, the body feels heavy, the mind works slowly and one remains low on energy throughout the day. Unable to concentrate in office, don’t feel like doing household chores and eyes start closing again and again. Many people think that maybe they did not sleep properly, but when this problem starts happening daily then it should be understood that the body is giving some signal. Nowadays, this topic is trending on social media also that why one remains tired even after complete sleep and the answer is that complete sleep and getting quality sleep are two different things. Besides, lifestyle, health and hormones also play a big role in this fatigue. Now let us understand what happens that even after taking good sleep, fatigue does not go away.
1. Feel sleepy but do not get deep sleep
Many people sleep for 7 to 8 hours at night but their sleep is interrupted again and again before reaching the deep sleep stage. In fact, our body gets real rest only when there is proper amount of deep sleep. If there are habits like using the phone at night, overthinking, changing sides frequently or losing sleep even at the slightest sound, then the body does not feel fresh even after getting complete sleep. Experts say that lack of quality sleep is the biggest reason.
2. Stress and overthinking overload the brain
Nowadays stress and overthinking have become a part of life. Be it job pressure, family responsibilities or financial tension, the mind remains constantly active. Even while sleeping, the mind does not relax and the entire system goes into stress mode. In such a situation, even if the sleep is for 8 hours, the body and brain do not get real rest. The result is fatigue as soon as you wake up in the morning.
3. Vitamin D or B12 deficiency
Vitamin D and B12 are very important for energy levels. If there is a deficiency in these, the body gets tired quickly, there is no freshness even after sleep and heaviness is felt in the muscles. Many times people consider it as lack of sleep whereas in reality it is a sign of nutritional deficiency. Nowadays this deficiency has become very common because there is less sunlight and the diet is also not balanced.
4. Thyroid imbalance is also a major reason
Thyroid hormone controls the body’s energy production and metabolism. If the thyroid becomes slow i.e. hypothyroidism, then you keep feeling tired even after getting proper sleep. As soon as you wake up in the morning, your body feels heavy and you feel lethargic throughout the day. This is a sign that should not be taken lightly.
5. Eating late at night or eating heavy food
If you eat food just before sleeping or have a very heavy dinner, then the body remains busy digesting the food even during sleep. Due to this, the sleep recovery cycle gets disturbed and one feels tired even after waking up in the morning. This is a common reason seen in many people these days.
6. Excessive consumption of sugar and caffeine
Consuming excess tea, coffee, cold drinks or sugar a few hours before sleeping spoils the sleep cycle. Even if you fall asleep, the sleep is not deep. Because of this, energy remains low in the morning and the body feels lethargic.
7. Anemia i.e. lack of blood
If hemoglobin in the blood is low then the body does not get enough oxygen. The result is constant fatigue, dizziness, weakness and unfresh feeling. In anemia, no matter how much sleep is required, energy is not produced in the body.
When to understand that this is a signal from the body
If you start feeling this tired every day
body feels heavy
started feeling low mood
no focus on work
have trouble getting up in the morning
So this is a signal from the body that something is not right. This is not just a sleep problem, but can also be an early symptom of a health condition.
Expert’s best tips to relieve fatigue
1. Fix sleep time
Make a habit of sleeping and getting up at the same time every day. Irregular sleep spoils sleep quality.
2. Take morning sunlight
Starting the day with some sunlight balances the sleep hormone melatonin and maintains body energy.
3. Limit phones and screens at night
Blue light from screens spoils sleep quality. Turn off the screen 1 hour before sleeping.
4. Balanced diet and hydration
Taking Vitamin D, B12, Iron and Protein in right quantity keeps energy levels better.
5. Adopt habits to reduce stress
Do meditation, yoga, light walk or any activity that relaxes you for a few minutes every day.
6. If fatigue persists, get tested
By testing vitamins, thyroid and hemoglobin, the real cause can be revealed and treatment can be started on time.
