How to Beat the Monday Morning Blues
By eHow Health Editor
There's actually a scientific explanation behind those dreaded Monday morning blues. Our internal clocks naturally operate on a day that is longer than 24 hours. By the time Monday rolls around each week, we've built up a sleep deficit of at least an hour. Of course, the weekend revelries and facing another work week don't help matters. Here are some tips to make Monday mornings a little easier.
Step1If you can, sleep in an extra hour on Monday mornings. Going to bed early on Sunday night doesn't always help because most people will remain awake until their usual bedtime.Step2If you can't sleep in by a full hour (and most of us can't), take action Sunday night to shorten your morning preparation time so that you can set the alarm for 15 minutes later than usual. Wash your hair, pack lunches, lay out your outfit or pack your briefcase on Sunday night.Step3Hop out of bed the moment you wake up on Monday morning. Lingering in that downy comforter will only draw out the agony.Step4End your shower with a jolt of cold water to tear yourself out of your grogginess. Or exercise in the morning to get your blood pumping and to release those feel-good endorphins.Step5Get out in the sunlight. Bright light tells your body that it is indeed the morning and helps reset your internal clock.Step6Drink coffee or another caffeine beverage. Although it's not healthy to drink caffeine to the point of addiction, caffeine, when used in moderation, can give your Monday mornings that much-needed oomph and alertness.Step7Anticipate your Monday morning on Friday afternoon. Fight the temptation to race away from a messy desk. Clean up your desk and leave yourself a to-do list to make Monday morning a little more tolerable.Recent studies show that if you drink a full glass of water as soon as you wake up, it can give you almost as much energy as drinking something caffeinated. This is because your body looses fluid during the night. Also try having something with protein in it for breakfast. Egg whites or nuts for example. The protein will leave you feeling more alert and ready to tack that Monday!"After resting for wed, thurs, fri, sat, sun last week, i'm going back to wrk le. hope i dun get monday blues tml" -
