Wondering how to boost your energy levels after that 3 pm slump? You're not alone. But while millions will reach for their second or third cup of coffee at this time, the experts suggest a better sleep-friendly solution: microbreaks.
We know that taking a break is good for us, both mentally and physically, but research has also shown that mini-breathers can help our energy levels as much as longer breaks - and they can even help us learn how to sleep better when bedtime does eventually roll around. "Breaking up your day with one to ten-minute breaks from work, tasks, and always being on the go, can help relieve stress and anxiety, and overstimulation from the internet, social media and screen time," says life coach Kamran Bedi. This means we feel better throughout the day, but may also find it easier to sleep at night.
