Lack of Energy
After I reached the age of 40, I noticed a lack of energy during the second half of the day. At times it was difficult to focus when I was talking with customers. When I had the opportunity, I would rest for short periods; but that did not seem to help. I did not do anything about it for almost a year. Then I read an article about the importance of sleep. I thought about it and concluded that I never slept soundly through the night.
I talked with my doctor about sleep, and he discussed several challenges when a person does not achieve a full night’s sleep. The challenges he mentioned included: learning and memory, mood changes, increased stress, and weight gain.
I thought about what my doctor said and decided his caution made sense.
Learning and Memory
I did not realize it, but my short time memory was not clear, and reviewing technical information seemed more difficult.
Weight Gain
I had gained weight over the past five years and had to work very hard to lose it. Maintaining weight became a significant challenge. It was very difficult to lose unwanted weight.
Mood – Irritability
I did have a difficult time concentrating. It seemed as though everything bothered me. The mood changes created a challenge everywhere, with customers, fellow workers, family, and friends.
Increased Stress
My stress level seemed higher, but I thought it was because of new business challenges. After I thought about it for a while, I realized the current business challenges were not greater than the challenges of the past.
Solution
I studied the way I approached my workday and decided I needed to make some changes. I was resting in the middle of the day. The doctor told me I should avoid mid-day sleeping. I started planning the next work-day each evening. I tracked the completed items, which made me feel better about the day before sleeping.
I checked my diet and made some changes. Also, I quit eating after 5 pm when possible. That helped me sleep. I avoided taking any sleeping medication because I did not have confidence that I understood the risks.
At times it was difficult to stay on the diet and work schedule. I found Prayer worked for me. Every time I wanted to eat too much or wanted to eat sweets; Prayer helped me think about how important it is to stay on my plan.
After a few months, the results were better memory, better focus, and I did seem to have more energy. I still felt challenged in these areas, but it was better than before making the changes.
After many years, I began experiencing the same challenges again. I was exercising and eating properly. I was not taking naps during the day; but, I still had memory challenges, a lack of energy, and felt a high level of stress.
My sister introduced me to Vasayo Products several years ago. I studied the product sheets and found the information interesting. I checked with my doctor and made sure there was no medical reason not to try some of the products. I used several of the Vasayo Products and notice a positive change in my overall health. After using the Sleep Product, I was able to sleep the entire night. The Renew helped me with my short term memory, and the Energy Product made my afternoons much more productive.
Now I feel better than I did thirty years ago. I wish I had made these changes much earlier in my life.
