Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Stayed up all night? Here’s how to feel better
People sometimes stay up too late or all night for fun, preparations, or
deadlines. If there isn’t anything special that requires good physical or
mental attention on the next day, that might be ok. But staying up all night will
certainly affect your physical conditions, including upper respiratory issues
and gastrointestinal problems. Also, lack of sleep slows reaction times, worsens
logical reasoning, and impairs brain performance. But what if you stayed up all
night? First, you want to get lights, natural or artificial, to wake up your
body clock. Then move your body to boost circulation and increase alertness. If
you feel still sleepy, take a short nap or two, but not longer than 20 minutes,
to boost energy in your brain. However, these are all countermeasures after
all. You’d better avoid staying up late or all night in the first place if you drive,
work, study, or take exams on the following day.
Read the article and learn about what helps you to survive after a
non-sleep night.
