When we are in winter, I find my eyes get heavy and tired really early on in the day. Have you got any tips on how to make me feel more alert?
As we head into winter and the nights get dark early, it is quite common to feel tired in the afternoon. In this instance I think it is worth looking at ways to improve your energy levels, rather than focusing specifically on your eyes.
As it contains the energy-boosting nutrient magnesium, our Balance Mineral Drink can provide a nice pick-me-up-in the afternoons so you might want to try this. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water as dehydration can contribute to low energy levels.
When you feel your eyes getting heavy in the afternoon, you may also find it beneficial to take a little walk round your workplace as exercise has a really positive effect on energy levels. Alternatively, try standing at your desk to work for 10 minutes or so.
I would recommend trying these tips out to see if they improve your energy levels and mae you feel more alert. If you need more advice, take a look at our energy hub. I have put the link to this below so you can explore it for yourself.
