The summer heat is here to stay and for those of you who haven’t got much vacation time, it can end up taking its toll. You’re always in and out of the air-con meaning your body is constantly adapting to different temperatures. Commuting in the heat is also pretty tiring and even if you work from home, your home office might get stuffy and hot. This can make it harder to be productive. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to avoid summer fatigue at work.
Stay hydrated

It’s essential to stay hydrated, especially during the summer months. You’ll be losing more water through sweating and your body will use more energy cooling you down. Keep a refillable water bottle at your desk at all times. You could also try one of the best sports drinks. These will also help to replace the essential salts and sugars that are necessary for rehydration and will give you an energy boost. 

Eat well and regularly

Try to maintain a healthy balanced diet and take proper lunch breaks. You may find you have less appetite in the heat but it’s important to eat regularly as this will give you a steady flow of energy. You should also be eating the right foods such as plenty of fruits and vegetables, grains, and proteins. Avoid too many stimulants such as sugars and processed food. If you’d like to improve your nutrition this summer you could even do a course at macrobiotics school. This will give tips and techniques on how to eat to boost your energy levels.

Organize outdoor events

If you’d like to improve office morale and keep your employees happy this summer, why not organize an outdoor event? Plan a staff BBQ or even get involved in the local community. Find an activity that will engage and motivate staff. This will help shake things up a bit at work. Both you and your team will feel more energized afterward.

Try relaxation techniques

If you are having trouble sleeping and this is the main cause of your fatigue at work, try relaxation exercises before you go to bed. You could even invest in an acupressure mat. By lying on it for a short while before bedtime you will stimulate pressure points allowing you to achieve a sense of true relaxation. It’s important to maintain a healthy sleep routine so find the method that works best for you.

Get plenty of exercise

Even though it’s hot out it’s essential to get plenty of exercise, especially outdoors. This will help to boost your energy levels and is also beneficial for your mental well-being. Physical exercise is a great stress-reliever and provides a distraction from work. You’ll return to work relaxed and rejuvenated and more energized than before. If you’re getting tired of your current workouts, try out a new sport or activity. This will help motivate you to stick to a routine. Stay active during the summer and you’ll feel healthier and more positive at work.
