If you only feel lethargic every now and then, don’t panic about it. It is quite normal for this to happen. It’s when feeling lethargic turns from a “once every now and then” occurrence to an “all the time” one, then you need to do something about it.

There are many different reasons you could be feeling lethargic.

It’s possible that you’ve had a stressful week or month at work. If that’s true for you, give yourself a break. Take the weekend off. Or at least an evening. There’s a good chance that this break from your routine will be enough to sort out your problem.

But if the symptoms of lethargy persist, check whether any of these could help you out.

1. Be careful what you eat

Food is important to us in many ways, not just to stave off hunger. It affects us in many other ways. For instance, if you’ve ever felt sleepy or drowsy in the early afternoon after a big meal. Keep an eye on the food you’re eating and eat a little bit healthier, even if you don’t manage to do that for each and every meal.

2. Sleep well

You need to sleep well as this is one of the times when your body repairs itself. If you notice that you’re not sleeping well, begin by making sure your bed time is the same each evening so that your body knows that it’s time to sleep. If possible, do this without sleeping tablets but don’t let a hatred of such things stop you using them temporarily until you get back in a good sleep routine.

3. Cut down on the alcohol and caffeine

This may sound slightly strange, especially since the caffeine in coffee is a good way to boost your energy levels short term. But both alcohol and caffeine aren’t good for you. Both of them can also affect how well you sleep at night. Don’t just stop drinking either of these though, make it a gradual process otherwise you may make things worse until they have completely left your system.

4. Use hypnosis
