The fall of the afternoon's energy is simply not a sensation, but a scientific reality reality. Neurologist of Michigan University, Dr. Ravia Allada told Daily Mail: According to the specialist, drowsiness is more pronounced at 13:27 and 14:06.
According to the specialist, the human body operates with a circuit rhythm, which peaks in the morning at 10:00 in the morning. However, after dinner, at about 13:30, most people start to fall into energy. This is due to the so-called "Sleep Pressure", the natural increase in the need for recreation, when we stay awake.
According to Dr. Allada, during the day, the body "fight" the Zircad Rhythm, which keeps us awake and the growing desire to sleep. Drowsiness often wins, especially in the afternoon.
Research confirms this. The survey conducted by two thousand office workers showed that fatigue peaked from 13:27 to 14:06. More than a quarter of the respondents attributed their energy loss in front of the screen, while 22% are rare intervals. Almost 25% believe that their partners are hindering their productivity.
However, experts believe that one of the main reasons for the day fatigue is bad food. Sugar food and cleaned carbohydrates, white bread, pasta and sugar breakfasts are especially dangerous. According to Professor Say Carapa, such food causes a sharp increase in sugar and insulin production, which is inevitably followed by a sharp decline in energy and drowsiness.
Instead, specialists recommend protein and fiber-rich foods that provide a more stable energy level.
A short 20-minute sleep is considered the most effective way to fight the afternoon fatigue. If sleep is not possible, the walk in fresh air can help. Physical activity stimulates the blood flow of the brain, improves concentration and has a positive effect on the overall well-being.
