Take a nap. A short nap during the day can restore your waning energy. Limit daytime naps to 20 minutes, say sleep experts at the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center. Add even more energy with a good night s sleep. For quality sleep, the Mayo Clinic physicians advise you not to eat or drink a lot before bedtime and keep your bedroom slightly cool.
Physical activity can relieve tension and stress-related fatigue.
Many people think if they can t get to the gym, they can t get a workout, says Emily Wark, a certified personal trainer and nutritionist in Seattle. Take a 10-minute walk at lunch with a friend, or use resistance bands for spot strength training. Neck, upper back and shoulder stretches are especially important, because they are tension-hugging areas, Wark adds. Water, water, water. Fatigue is one sign of dehydration.
