I've been feeling drowsy and sleepy whenever I'm through with 20 - 30 minutes of writing on my client projects. It's been effectively stopping me from working productively and I can clearly notice it.
I am through with 30 minutes of work, I feel tired and my eyes feel sleepy and I just lie down on the desk for a few minutes. And after that, I lose my flow with writing and go into a tanget by either browsing the web or doing something else.
So I've been studying this behaviorial pattern for a while now and have found some solutions for this.
Why do I really feel sleepy while at work mainly writing?
The first and most important thing that stops me and makes me feel sleepy is my eyesight. The glasses I have with me seem to be too powerful during certain occassions. At those times, I remove my glasses and work without these.
20 - 30 minutes into my content writing, I feel groggy and sleepy because I wasn't wearing glasses. Writing burns me of all the energy my brain has and plus when I don't wear glasses, the energy is heavily used at both places.
But when you look at my other kinds of work apart from writing such as updating my crm, writing codes or designing a web page, I don't feel sleepy at all even if I've just slept 3 or 4 hours the previous night.
These tasks are monotonous and do not require the use of my creative muscle. But on the other hand, writing requires it heavily.
I've noticed that I've been able to work for over an hour or so consistently when I'm wearing my glasses i.e. even writing at my top notch levels.
Plus, the other reason is my sleep patterns are not regularized as of now and I'm trying to incorporate all kinds of new habits into the system.
The solution...
- Have my power tested and get lenses of a lower prescription (0.5 or 0.75 less) as my eyesight is likely to improve more and more with meditation, eye exercises and visualization and the new diet changes.
-Work in batches of 25 minutes, 5 minute walk, 25 minutes work, 5 minute walk and so on. Either do it in 25 - 5 or 50 - 10. Improve this number slowly overtime and begin working for 2 hours continuously.
Let me get these two implemented... This is the MOST important task that I need to take care of right now and then I can move on with my other things.
PS: Have been putting off getting my eyes tested for a really long time.
