Scientists believe they found a foolproof formula to stop sluggishness.
Scientists believe they found a foolproof three-step formula to turn sluggishness into a refreshed morning feeling.
“We know there are people who always seem to be bright-eyed and busy-tailed when they first wake up,” author Professor Matthew Walker said. “But if you think you’re not like that, you tend to think, ‘Well I guess it’s just my genetic fate that I’m slow to wake up. There’s really nothing I can do about it,’ short of using stimulant chemical caffeine, which can harm sleep.
While 7 to 9 hours of sleep is ideal, even just a little more can help. A lie-in — remaining in bed after waking up — can also help fight off that hazy feeling, according to Walker. Participants were asked to fast for 8 hours prior to eating breakfast and for 3 to 4 hours post-meal. They also wore a glucose monitor.
“A breakfast rich in carbs can increase alertness, so long as your body is healthy and capable of efficiently disposing of the glucose from that meal, preventing a sustained spike in blood sugar that otherwise blunts your brain’s alertness,” Dr. Vallat said.
