INTRO
Sleep: the best supplier of energy
Avoid sleep deprivation! = detrimental to your performance and productivity
During sleep, you recover both physically and mentally, so your energy is replenished. You need 7 to 9 hours* of undisturbed sleep to be sufficiently rested.
But a 5 minute powernap during the day can also give your body and mind a boost!

Take a break, get some fresh air
Short breaks are vital!
If possible, go outside for a while and pay close attention to your respiration. By breathing in and out deeply you increase the oxygen levels in your body, which will boost your energy level.

More energy with the right food
An energy dip can be caused by a drop in your blood sugar level.
Eat a healthy snack in the morning and in the afternoon.
A pot of yoghurt, a handful of nuts or an apple can give a long-lasting energy boost!

The + effect of humor
Laughing decreases the amount of stress hormones in your blood, which are real energy gluttons.
