Morning tiredness is less frequent if I sleep well, as a proper night’s rest rejuvenates the body and mind. At night, I prefer relaxing activities such as reading, light stretching, or listening to music to wind down. Understanding natural energy cycles helps me plan tasks effectively, ensuring productivity during high-energy periods and rest during low-energy times.

Chronic tiredness can even lead to stress, anxiety, or low morale. On the other hand, adequate rest, hydration, and balanced meals can help regulate mood and improve emotional resilience. Understanding the link between physical energy and emotional state is crucial for maintaining mental well-being. By managing tiredness effectively, I can stay focused, positive, and productive throughout the day.
