Summer Fatigue: As April ends, the scorching and stinging heat has started wreaking havoc. After the temperature crossed 40 degrees, people have already started speculating about how severe the heat is going to be this time. Meanwhile, doctors are also advising to stay at home during peak heat (between 11 am and 3 pm). Every year the threat of heat wave and UV Rays looms over people and in this season people feel tired even without working.
Many people are noticing a strange pattern in summer, in which people have started feeling extremely tired even after not doing physical work. According to doctors, this is not an illusion, but is happening due to the burden on your body. According to doctors, “Heat exhaustion is a physical reaction caused by heat, dehydration and lack of sleep.”
The burden on the body increases due to heat
In hot weather, the body tries to maintain its internal temperature, due to which our heart has to work more than necessary. Sweating helps, but with sweat the essential electrolytes present in the body are also lost. Even mild dehydration affects blood circulation, which causes fatigue, headache and low energy and affects your productivity throughout the day.
Difficulty sleeping and breathing
Summer nights are quite painful and a slightly cooler temperature is needed for good sleep. When this does not happen, sleep is disturbed. In such a situation, one feels tired even after sleeping for hours. Heat can also cause respiratory problems, such as sleep apnea. When sleep is disturbed, concentration and mood deteriorate badly.
