It’s game time, and you want to come out on top, but you can feel your energy levels dipping. This isn’t uncommon, and it’s vital to your well-being (as well as your gaming) to get into a healthy routine. So, how can you do this? Luckily, it’s straightforward, and minor changes to your routine can help you feel better and achieve more during your gaming sessions. So, keep reading to discover how to replenish your energy levels and improve your concentration.
Getting Enough Sleep
It may seem obvious, but sleep is considered one of the most vital factors in improving energy levels. While gaming, it’s easy to lose track of time and stay up late. However, this can wreak havoc on your sleeping pattern if you can’t replace these lost hours of sleep because of work or other commitments. According to National Sleep Foundation, most adults require 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to maintain their focus the following day. Getting this amount of sleep may seem unimaginable for some, but there are steps that you can take to improve your sleeping habits.
The following are some top tips:
- Get into a sleeping pattern. This means hitting the sack at the same time every night and setting your alarm for the same time every morning. Now, this isn’t always possible due to your gaming tournaments, but trying to stick to the principle as much as possible will help improve your energy levels;
- Avoid blue light for up to one hour before sleep. For example, you might read a book after your gaming session to help wind down;
- Meditate before bed. Meditating can help you to relax and minimize stress levels;
- Set a calm mood. Some enjoy a warm bath, lighting candles, or listening to calming music. Also, ensure you have a comfortable mattress and make your sleep environment as dark and quiet as you can.
Give CBD A Try
Natural supplements may help support overall well-being and energy levels. Cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids (like CBG) are popular options. A cannabinoid is a natural chemical compound from the cannabis plant; it is one of over one hundred different cannabinoids, as well as terpenes and flavonoids.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it won’t cause you to feel intoxicated. Research suggests CBD may ease symptoms of anxiety, sleep issues, and pain, which might indirectly affect one’s energy levels.
There are many CBD products to choose from, like CBD dips (also known as pouches), tinctures, oils, creams, vapes, and more. Once you decide what product is best for you, begin with a small amount to monitor how CBD affects you. You can determine what dose works for you and indirectly lifts your energy levels. For example, you may wish to use a discreet and low-maintenance CBD cannabis dip in your morning routine to soothe feelings of anxiety and alleviate physical discomfort. It might help kick-start your day with ease and maintain your energy throughout the day.
Consume A Balanced Diet
Consuming a balanced diet is a great way to help replenish your energy. If you primarily consume fatty foods, it may impact your health and overall energy levels. Furthermore, consuming nutritious foods and drinking sufficient water can help maintain wellness.
Make sure you don’t get so caught up in your gaming that you forget to eat. Ensure you’re eating enough to fuel your body and mind, especially since skipping meals may be linked to concentration issues, fatigue and stress. If you know that you have a busy period coming up, then it’s a good idea to prepare meals or set reminders to eat. It’s also a good idea to avoid consuming too much alcohol and caffeine, as these can negatively affect your energy levels and mood.
