It is difficult to ward off overwhelming drowsiness. In particular, many people feel extreme fatigue in the morning right after waking up or immediately after lunch. While getting enough rest and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits should be the priority to eliminate fatigue, if it's urgent, doing simple stretching exercises can help. Here are some drowsiness-fighting moves that can be done even in a small space.

◇Back and shoulder stretching

Sitting upright and tense your body helps wake you up. Sit with your back straight on the chair, with your hands resting on your knees. While pulling your knees, think of pulling in your abdomen, and tense your body for 10 seconds, then relax. Then, exhale, lower your knees back down, and stretch by bending your head and back as much as possible for 10 seconds.

Neck Stretch

Releasing stiff muscles and joints makes the body feel refreshed. Let's stretch the tense neck. While sitting, support your chin with your thumb, then lift your head upward and hold for 10 seconds before slowly lowering your head. Next, clasp your hands behind your head and use the weight of your arms to tilt your head forward, stretching for 10 seconds. Then, wrap your left hand around your head and pull your head to the right, stretching for 10 seconds. Repeat the same on the other side.

◇Hand exercises

Moving your hands to wake up your brain when you're feeling sluggish or sleepy is also effective. Move each hand in different directions to stimulate the left and right hemispheres of the brain. For example, move your right hand up and down while simultaneously moving your left hand side to side, then switch hands and repeat the same movements. If you're still feeling sleepy, it's good to take a short nap for 5 to 10 minutes or go for a brief walk while soaking up some sunlight.
