Taking a rest is one of those things where we can’t really assign a time frame to it. We can set an alarm to wake ourselves up, but if we’re still tired when it goes off, we might hit the snooze button or just sleep through the alarm.
One thing I’ve done to overcome tiredness is to wake up at a certain hour like clockwork. I’ll try to wake up before the alarm goes off, make it a habit to beat the alarm, so to speak. If the alarm goes off and I’m still tired, I’ll come up with a reason to get up. For example, I’ll think about how great the coffee will be if I just get up and make it, or I’ll think about something I need to do that day. It’s as if the best solution to overcoming tiredness when we wake up is to outsmart it, or at least, try to sleep it off.
