13 Lifestyle Adjustments To Get Rid Of Hypothyroidism Fatigue

By Andrew Alpin, 18 December 2022

10 Don’t eat a heavy meal for dinner in the evening

Don’t overeat during dinner. A full stomach can make you sluggish. Abrams suggests eating a light meal in the evening and eating more calories earlier in the day. This will help you maintain a normal weight and prevent you from packing extra pounds.

11 Be cautious of alcohol

Drinking alcohol can make you drowsy, but it can also interfere with your sleep quality, leaving you tired the next day. It can also be high in calories. Having two glasses of wine is like eating a slice of chocolate cake every night. So, if you’re trying to lose weight, manage diabetes, or keep your energy levels high, you probably want to restrict the quantity of alcohol that you drink. If you do drink, limit yourself to one drink per night for women and two for men. It’s also crucial to think about why you’re drinking. People who are worried and anxious at work and come home and drink to relieve that stress and anxiety are not necessarily helping themselves since alcohol is an addictive substance.

12 Relax and unwind before going to bed

Olson recommends turning off your TV, computer, and tablet and not looking at your phone for an hour before bedtime. According to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America in January 2015, blue light from screens suppresses the sleep hormone melatonin and interferes with sleep. Rather than gazing at a screen, Abrams suggests doing something pleasant, such as reading a novel, creating art, or taking a hot bath. According to research, a hot bath is beneficial because it raises your body temperature, which subsequently drops exactly like it occurs when you sleep at night, which seemingly promotes the onset of sleep and deep sleep. You can even sniff lavender oil to help you relax before your bedtime. You will be well rested and won’t be experiencing much hypothyroidism fatigue the next day.

13 Go to bed at the same time every night

Maintaining a consistent nighttime routine will help you fall and stay asleep. According to Abrams, getting enough sleep and sleeping well are critical in treating autoimmune illnesses. She notes that it also helps balance the endocrine hormonal system, including hypothyroidism. According to Olson, you need at least seven hours of sleep per night, so if you have to get up at 6 a.m., start going to bed at 10 p.m. so you can fall asleep by 11. Turn out the lights, make the room cold, dark, and quiet, and eventually snooze off.

According to Olson, if your medication and good habits aren’t alleviating your exhaustion, consult your doctor to rule out anemia, an undetected autoimmune condition, or adrenal insufficiency. A study published in The American Journal of Medicine in February 2010 states that people with Hashimoto’s disease had an increased risk of developing a second autoimmune condition.
