多吃蔬果，少点油腻 More protein and fruits, and less greasy¹ foods

 

研究发现，春天的嗜睡通常伴随着蛋白质、维生素的不足和体内酸的失衡。想要感到轻松、保持清醒，可以多吃高蛋白食物，如鱼类和鸡蛋，以及富含维生素的水果，如柑橘、柠檬和新鲜蔬菜。油腻的食物和酒精会产生反向作用。

Modern research finds that sleepiness in spring is usually accompanied by insufficient² protein, vitamins, and an imbalance of internal acid. To feel light and alert, eat more food that is high in protein, such as salmon³ and eggs; rich in vitamins, such as citrus, lemon and fresh vegetables. Greasy foods and alcohol will have the reverse effect.

 

呼吸新鲜空气 Get some fresh air

 

确保办公室和卧室的空气流通正常。不良的空气流动会导致氧气不足，从而影响大脑的功能，也可以到户外去亲近大自然。

Make sure that air flows properly in your office and bedroom. Bad airflow will lead to insufficient oxygen, which will affect the brain's performance. Also, go outdoors to get close to nature.

 

多喝水 Drink enough water

 

尽量在身边放一瓶水，多喝水帮助排除体内积存的毒素，对抗春季疲劳。你也可以加点柠檬，使其富含维生素。

Try to always have a bottle of water next to you, as it can help to eliminate accumulated toxins⁴ and help to fight spring fatigue⁵. You can also add slices of lemon to ginger⁶ it up and make it vitamin-rich.

 

运动起来 Don't sleep more, exercise more

 

保证8小时的睡眠对成年人来说通常已经足够。延长睡眠时间可能会减少大脑皮层的活动，使人更困。相反，稍微增加身体活动的水平，这将有助于向大脑输送更多的氧气，使我们感到清醒和精力充沛。有氧运动，如慢跑、游泳和跳绳，是值得推荐的。

 

Eight hours of sleep is usually enough for adults. Getting longer sleep may reduce activity in the cerebral⁷ cortex, making people sleepier. Instead, slightly increase the level of your physical activity, which will help to send more oxygen to the brain, making us feel awake and energetic. Aerobic⁸ exercises, such as jogging, swimming, and rope skipping, are recommended.
