How to Create Energy From
Nothing
A lot of people feel "tired", and blame it on getting not enough sleep,
or other external factors. Basically, the 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 the four:
1) After waking up in the 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 the evening, or in the 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 the 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 the strong urge to sleep. I
call this the "natural sleep response". When we're exercising, or putting
excessive physical demand on our body, our body temperature RISES rapidly,
however when you END the 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 the 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 the early morning shift I
would come home and feel TOTALLY DRAINED and TIRED, I usually fell asleep and
slept till the evening.
However, as I began learning the inner science of our sleep system and
the 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 the 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 the backyard), the feeling
of tiredness faded and I was able to stay awake and alert WAY into the early
morning hours.
How did this work?
I simply allowed my body temperature some time to return back to the
normal pattern it proceeds. I gave it time to "come down." When it returned back
to normal, I didn't feel tired and the intense pressure to sleep
faded.
This same body temperature drop happens after you sit in one place for a
long time. Listen, you could take a person who is robust, athletic, and
naturally energetic, but if you put them in front of a TV for 3 hours, THEY WILL
GET TIRED! This is simply because our body temperature drops when we're NOT
MOVING.
That's why the biggest antidote to feeling tired is exercise and
movement, NOT SLEEP.
During the morning our body temperature is low too, which creates
feelings of drowsiness and tiredness, however, most of us chose to mask this
feeling by consuming large amounts of caffeine. The other main temperature drops
happen in the afternoon, and in the mid-evening.
In the Powerful Sleep system I describe the EXACT methods to gain a full
understanding of your body temperature rhythm, so you can create a quick RISE of
body temperature in the morning, and delay the body temperature drop in the
evening. This allows you to stay awake and ALERT longer, have more energy and
MORE TIME (time is a precious commodity!)
