According to chrono-biologists at Penn State University, it’s between noon and 2pm. Because that’s when our body temperature naturally starts to dip, which can make us sleepy. But taking a 10 to 20-minute power walk is proven to boost our heart rate and help keep us alert. So, we’ll have energy to power through the rest of our day.

When bedtime rolls around, if you’re not tired, DON’T go to bed and lie there awake… You’ll only condition yourself to associate your bed with staring at the ceiling and frustration.

According to the Annals Of Internal Medicine, that’ll help you get sleepy before you hit the hay.

If you plan on going for a run – but you’re struggling to get in the mood for it – you’ll end up running a lot more slowly. That’s according to sports psychology professor Dr. Chris Englert. The reason? Because you end up using all your willpower to force yourself to put on your shoes, and get out the door.

Your brain will feel calmer – and you’ll be much more motivated to have a good workout. It sounds simple, but it works.
