Sleep is an essential function of life. We need this period of physical rest and rehabilitation of the nervous system. Poorly rested brains are constantly recharged and after a while work less efficiently. We work slower and end the day with a to-do list. We are too tired to sleep and end up in a vicious circle. Try working on your sleep hygiene to break this cycle.
This constant pressure that gives the impression that you never finish anything, that your time is being stolen, gives you stress. This stress gives continuous pressure on the nervous system, which eventually results in fatigue.
For power athletes, but also athletes in general and manual workers, the muscles are often overloaded for a long time. The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle can acidify the whole body. This manifests itself in stressfatigue.
If we eat foods with fast sugars, glucose levels in the blood will rise very quickly. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas and lowers blood sugar levels by storing glycogen in the liver. When this store is full, glucose will be converted to fat. This spike in blood sugar - and the subsequent glucose drop - makes you feel exhausted. Craving quick energy, you instinctively reach for another serving of refined carbohydrates, which can lead to a vicious cycle. As a source of energy, choose carbohydrates with slow sugars.
