How to Create Energy From NothingA lot of people feel "tired", and blame it on getting not enough sleep, or other external factors. Basically,
fact that they're tired is always "out of control." What they don't know is that there's a reason for feeling "tired", and that there's a simple method to change "tired" to "energized" in a heartbeat....
Most of us feel tired during one of
four: 1) After waking up in
morning. 2) After intense physical activity, or long hours of work. 3) After sitting in one place for a long period of time. 4) During
evening, or in
late evening hours.
What do all four of those have in common? There's one very common process that happens in our bodies in all four cases. During all of these we all experience very similar"symptoms" of tiredness. These include yawning, rubbing our eyes, feeling sllooowww, and having
urge to just get into bed and sleep.
Why Do We Get These "symptoms?" Our bodies have a natural temperature rhythm. Our body temperature rises when we are awake, and promotes feelings of alertness. Our body temperature also falls when we're sleeping, and promotes feelings of drowsiness, and a desire to sleep.
The natural DROP of body temperature in our bodies is a CUE for our body to produce feelings of tiredness, drowsiness, and
strong urge to sleep. I call this
"natural sleep response". When we're exercising, or putting excessive physical demand on our body, our body temperature RISES rapidly, however when you END
physical activity, there is a RAPID body temperature DROP until your body temperature regulates sometime after. It's during this DROP that most of us think there's no other way out but to sleep, and we usually jump into bed and do just that.
The feeling of
body temperature drop after long hours of work is usually mistaken by us as a deep need for sleep. In reality, we don't need to sleep, we just need to "cool down". Allow me to give you a personal example:
As a kid I used to work at a FULL SERVE gas station for 8-9 hours in a row. This meant I had to be on my feet running around pumping gas for 8-9 hours with one 10 minute break. It was hell! Even when I had
early morning shift I would come home and feel TOTALLY DRAINED and TIRED, I usually fell asleep and slept till
evening.
However, as I began learning
inner science of our sleep system and
inner sleep clock, I tried a little experiment one day. Instead of going to sleep I came home and played fetch with my dog out in
yard for about 45 minutes instead. To my surprise, after just a few minutes of a little light activity (throwing a plastic chewed up Frisbee across
backyard),
feeling of tiredness faded and I was able to stay awake and alert WAY into
early morning hours.
