Are you one of those who wake up angry or, on the contrary, do you eat the world when you get up? Well, it seems that what we did the day before is closely related to how we got up. It is at least what emerges from A study published in Nature which talks about the factors that influence our way of waking up. Depending on what you do today, that’s how you’ll get up tomorrow. We tell you.

From the same medium they explain that those participants in the study who had asleep uninterrupted throughout the night and with healthy sleep practices, they reported feeling fresher and in a better mood upon waking. Hence the importance of the appropriate time and environment to improve wakefulness.

So, “participants who incorporated moderate or vigorous exercise into their daily routines reported waking up more energized and ready to tackle the day «. Thirty minutes is the minimum time of daily physical activity according to experts, to notice the positive effects of it.
Food also has a lot to do with our awakening, “The consumption of a balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, proteins and whole grains, was associated with an improvement in alertness and mood upon awakening” and of course we must avoid heavy dinners and consume alcohol and caffeine before bed.
The conclusion seems clear, if we combine regular physical activity, healthy sleep practices and good eating habits we can improve our mood and general well-being upon waking. Ultimately a holistic approach to enhance the waking experience is essential.
