Do you wake up exhausted? You slept the entire night and yet you still feel drained? These 3 tips will help you get more rest and recovery from your sleep, leaving you a completely recharged by morning.

One of the most frustrating things is waking up still completely exhausted. You might have slept for 8-12 hours but are still completely depleted upon waking up. If this is happening to you more than just every once in a while, these 3 tips will help you get the most out of your sleep once more.

We also can benefit from the same type of bedtime routine. In todays world we are running around like crazy and some of us keep very unusual hours. This makes the body very confused and can lead to stress and fatigue. 7 out of 10 times as I work with people, they start feeling an immediate surge in energy because they have developed a simple nighttime routine. Some gotchas: forget the TV to get you sleepy. Research shows that screens such as TV screens or computer screens can decrease the production of melatonin which is what gets you sleepy.

Second, ditch the sugar and the caffeine. We eat way too much sugar and drink way too much caffeine as a society. There are studies that show that as part of the Starbucks generation we are running down our bodies faster and faster. Sure sugar and caffeine might provide you with some energy. Thats why we do it. However, it is very short lived and probably one of the most inefficient types of energy.

As our cortisol levels rise and drop though out the day we tend to use the crutch of caffeine, sugar, or other stimulants to raise them up again. This does artificially stimulate our energy levels, but at a cost. Cortisol levels are not meant to remain high for long periods of time. In fact high cortisol levels cause chronic or adrenal fatigue. Furthermore, it can lead to an insomnia, hyperglycemia, and brain fog. Not only will it affect your energy levels in the short run and the long run, but it is also linked to weight gain especially around the middle of your body. And finally, caffeine can stay with you for up to 12 to 14 hours. If you want better sleep and more importantly, you want to feel rejuvenated from your sleep, watch the sugar and caffeine intake.

The third and final tip is to clean up your bedroom. I know its a very unusual tip to increase your energy levels but stay with me. All you need to do is try it and you will start to notice a difference. Have you ever had a big mess in your living room or kitchen and finally you got fed up with it enough to clean it. Once you were done and you saw the result, how did you feel? If you paid close attention to you body at that point, you may have experienced a form of reliefstress relief.

It is a common belief that we gain energy not only from what we put into ourselves, but also from the environment in which we spend time. If your environment is wrecked and always cluttered, it makes us feel wrecked and cluttered in our lives. Whats more interesting is this is especially true for environments that are close to us like the bedroom. The bedroom is considered to be a very private and a place that is close to your heart. Not surprisingly we are affected most by people and things that are most close to us. If our bedroom is cluttered, it impacts us emotionally and can reveal itself as emotional stress whether we know it or not.

Leading psychologists say that what makes a dramatic effect on us are the thoughts we have before we close our eyes and the thoughts we have first thing in the morning. You can rest assured that by clearing up the clutter in your bedroom, you are clearing up emotional stress. And that is sure to provide a nice boost in your energy levels. Just try it and pay close attention to your energy levels. Its worth it.

These are the top 3 tips to not only a better nights sleep, but to a more rejuvenating and energy recharging sleep. Follow these simple steps and you will see a noticeable influx of positive personal energy fill your life. Good luck!
