Healthy Tips For Your Lunch Break

Reach Out To Someone

Your lunch break can be a great opportunity to reconnect with a long-lost friend or reach out to a loved one. By taking ten or twenty minutes to call someone up, you are allowing yourself the opportunity to focus on something other than work, while catching up on the latest developments in other’s lives.

Even connecting with someone you see frequently is a good idea. Text your best friend, shoot your significant other a cute e-mail, or call your mom. It provides a good reminder that work is not your entire life and that the end of the day is near, granting you freedom to go home and relax with those you care about.

Take A Nap

If you can, try to get a 20 – 30 minute nap in during your lunch break. Often times, break rooms have couches or comfortable chairs that would be fairly easy to snooze in. Otherwise, your car or office can work well for a nap, as well.

By getting in some shuteye midday, you are giving your body the chance to recharge. These power naps are known to make you more alert, improving your performance and productivity throughout the rest of the work day. On top of that, a nap so short will not interfere with your regular sleep schedule or leave you feel extra fatigued for the next few hours.
