I have been soooo sleepy lately?
Question:
?
Answers:
The problem is you aren't supplying your body with the energy it needs, when it needs it. While exercise is always important, most people who feel this way during the middle of the day feel that way because of poor nutritional habits.
Calories are simply a unit of energy, and your body requires energy all day. If you are about to fall asleep at your desk, that is your signal that you haven't given your body proper nutrition and energy, so your blood sugar levels have gotten low.
The best thing to do to keep your blood sugar levels consistent all day is to eat smaller, more frequent meals/snacks throughout the day.
You should eat something (not junk food, you have to make good choices) every 3 to 3.5 hours. This gives your body a regular supply of calories, and your energy levels will be the same at 10 AM as they are at 2 PM as they are at 7 PM.
Also, this is the best technique if you want to lose body fat by the way. When you eat only a couple of times per day, you generally take in more calories than your body needs at that time, and any excess calories get stored as fat. Eat smaller portions more frequently and you won't be giving your body more calories than it needs at that time, thus no extra to store as fat.
