Firstly, I'm a major proponent of getting enough sleep. Sleep is how our body repairs itself from illness and intensifies cognizance and focus.
Proper sleep helps us to maintain a healthy weight body. Probably getting sound sleep is the only essential step we can take towards vitality and health.

I ENDEAVOR TO EXERCISE A GOOD SLEEPING ROUTINE AND EVERY NIGHT, GET ADEQUATE 8 HOURS OF SLEEP. LET'S COME TO REALITY: AT TIMES, IT DOESN'T OCCUR. ESPECIALLY SOMETIMES STRESS OF WORK AND OTHER THINGS WAKING ME UP AT NIGHT.
But unfortunately, this feeling is not the first time for me; either due to work, I took an overnight flight, woke up too late, turned off my to-do list and managed a toddler who wet the bed all night.
When all this happened, I used to get distressed.
Suppose that my brain can not function properly on any conference call or a meeting? Or do I behave cranky with my kids all the time? However, I've cultivated some hacks that helped me deal with casual missed sleep at night with time.
When sleep-deprived, I always follow 5 things that help me sense energy.
Hydrate Your Body:
When you are sleep deprived, the next morning, you feel exhausted, Dehydration causes fatigue; it's the right time to hydrate your body!
Whenever our body is dehydrated, we feel even more tired. The best thing to do is drink lukewarm water by adding lemon squeeze into it, and immediately it will boost up your body's energy.
Always try to keep a water bottle within your reach. You can refill it and drink it whenever
you do not have enough sleep. You will re-hydrate, and it will help your organs to wake up. Our body is made up of 60 percent of water.
Hence, we need fluid to work. Even if we are mildly dehydrated, it causes fatigue also a contraction in brain function.
Get some exercise:
Exercise will stimulate your body. Blood flow will increase, and you will feel more energetic.
According to Dr Shane- walking up and downstairs for 10 minutes gives you more energy than drinking a can of soda. Exercise motivates you to work.
Moreover, going for a walk or running outside will increase your body's level of vitamin D. It boosts your mood, helps you to more focus and recalls the body to work as it's daytime.
Splash cold water on your face:
While warm temperature makes us feel cozy, disclosure of cold temperature is refreshing. If you feel lazy and need a little kick-start, go to the bathroom and splash cold water on your face.
It works as a stimulant for your nervous system and skin. Moreover, you can try putting up an ice cube on your temple or wrists and even putting a wet handkerchief on your neck.
Streamline your schedule:
While sleep-deprived, your next should be very simple and streamlined. Do not try to be superman or a woman, as today is not the day when you can try and do everything easily.
Go through your schedule and cut down on the things that are not important to complete within this day. You can complete your tasks the next day ass you are not that productive today.
When I am out of sleep, I never try multitasking as it takes a long; rather, I prefer to do single tasks. The motive is not to feel tired.
Eat the right meal:
It is very important to take care of what you eat when you do not have enough sleep or are tired. You must be craving coffee but be careful caffeine makes you edgy and restless.
Instead, it would be best if you go for foods rich in proteins, like cashews, Almonds and yogurt etc., drink lots of water.
Even Lukewarm lemon water will help to stay active. Do not go for junk food like pizzas, burgers and all. Especially avoid food full of carbohydrates.
Conclusion:
Sleep is a healer for your mind and body. Follow above tips to get some valuable sleep.
