Stop Just Sleeping It Off: Why Resting Alone Won’t Cure Your Tiredness
Hello, this is Kitamura, the owner of Orange Fitness in Kai City, Yamanashi.
“When I’m tired, I just go to sleep.” “I want to lounge around all weekend.”
Do you have habits like these? Sleep is certainly important, but in fact sleeping alone doesn’t truly remove tiredness. What’s more, an inactive lifestyle may itself be making you tire more easily.
This time I’ll cover the pitfalls of a “recover by sleeping” lifestyle, and the habits that use exercise to build a body that doesn’t tire easily.
Sleeping alone doesn’t clear tiredness. Why?
- Even when sleep rests your brain, blood-flow problems and muscle fatigue tend to remain
- If you don’t move at all, you build up “stagnation fatigue” that makes your body feel heavier
- Sleep quality tends to get shallow when your daytime activity is low
“I tire so easily lately…” It may be lower fitness
- Lack of exercise lowers your muscle strength and heart and lung function
- Regardless of age, your body declines if you don’t move it
- Be careful if you feel “vaguely sluggish” or “tired even though I haven’t done anything”
To recover, the answer is to “move lightly”
- Walking or simple machine training boosts blood flow
- Exercise balances your autonomic nervous system and refreshes you
- Light exercise in the late afternoon in particular improves your sleep at night
