Self-help tips to fight tiredness
Many cases of tiredness are due to stress, not enough sleep, poor diet and other lifestyle factors. Try these self-help tips to restore your energy levels.
Sleep well
Many people don’t get the sleep they need to stay alert through the day. The website of the Royal College of Psychiatrists has information on sleeping well.
Reduce stress to boost energy
Stress uses up a lot of energy. Try to introduce relaxing activities into your day. Read more about how to relieve stress.
Talking therapy beats fatigue
There’s some evidence that talking therapies such as counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) might help to fight fatigue, or tiredness caused by stress, anxiety or low mood. See a GP for a referral for talking treatment on the NHS, or for advice on seeing a private therapist.
Cut out caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant which means it makes you feel more awake. But it can also disrupt your usual sleep rhythms, leading to problems sleeping and then daytime tiredness. The Sleep Charity recommends you reduce your intake gradually. Trying to suddenly stop can lead to insomnia and headaches.
Drink less alcohol
Although a couple of glasses of wine in the evening can help you fall asleep, you sleep less deeply after drinking alcohol. The next day you’ll be tired, even if you sleep a full 8 hours. Cut down on alcohol before bedtime. You’ll get a better night’s rest and have more energy. The NHS recommends that men and women should not regularly drink more than 14 units a week and should try to have several alcohol-free days each week. Read more about how to cut down on alcohol.
Drink more water for better energy
Sometimes you feel tired simply because you’re mildly dehydrated. A glass of water will do the trick, especially after exercise. Read more about water, drinks and hydration.
