How To Stay Focused And Awake At Work?

When you work for 8-9 hours, you already get exhausted even if the work responsibilities include sitting for longer periods. Moreover, the lack of a good night’s sleep can make you more tired and frustrated the next day at work.

While you may consume a cup of coffee, tea or carbonated sodas loaded with sugary and caffeine to escape the dizzy feeling little do you know that you’re in fact adding into it. The sudden drop in energy levels due to the intense amount of artificial sugar, caffeine, colours or preservatives present in a lot of unhealthy drinks not only affects your mood but also your productivity.
