Follow on Google News | Stress Awareness Week Recognized By Leaders In Caffeine ResearchBy: THINKNOO INC. THINKNOO (thinknoo.com) The company emphasizes the little-known fact that caffeine takes 20-24 hours to completely flush from the human body, making many of us 'caffeinated sleepers'. CEO and Co-Founder, Shannon O'Brien, explains, "having more than one standard cup of coffee per-day means you're undoubtedly sleeping with caffeine in your system". With 143m people in the U.S. drinking more than one cup per day, this is an issue that impacts many of us (Gallup, 2015). Shannon O'Brien, CEO and co-founder of THINKNOO, says: 'With 61% of American's reporting to be stressed-out at work (APA, 2017), a statistic that is replicated in many areas of the globe, we need to re-look at stress and how to manage it.' 'Often when we think of stress, we ask ourselves "why am I stressed?" in search of a single cause. The issue with this is that stress is rarely derived from a single moment, instead, it is a build up of incorrect habits that we have developed throughout our life.' The attached infographic helps consumers understand their body and empowers them with a toolkit that will enable stress-free productivity: Shannon is all too familiar with the need to combat stress in his work and life. He says: 'I manage being the CEO & Co-Founder of THINKNOO (https://thinknoo.com/ THINKNOO has created some key tips to help combat stress and anxiety: Stop snoozing, start softly. Your morning phone alarm is a daily dose of harmful stress for your adrenal gland, putting your body in 'fight or flight' response mode. Every time you hit snooze, this is amplified – Avoid being jolted out of deep REM sleep by using apps like SleepCycle. Less peaks, more balance. Coffee positively increases brain activity, but the rapid impact on the adrenal system can leave you with a jittery peak in energy and an inevitable afternoon crash – Using adaptogens that work synergistically with your morning coffee to balance out your mental energy, like those found in NOOstart. Keep lists, stress less. Each and every task you try and hold in mind will build up and cause stress, from returning a call to picking up dinner – Task management apps, like Evernote and Trello, enable you to jot down tasks on the go, allowing your brain to relax and focus on the task at hand. Go lighter, go for longer. Heavy carb-dense meals at lunch steal resources away from the brain and toward the digestive system, leaving you with less mental energy – Eating a lighter lunch full of protein, good fats, and low-GI vegetables reduces the impact of a post lunch slump. Get motivated, start timing. After lunch it becomes harder to get motivated as your body's natural sleep-wake cycle dips and those big tasks seem impossible – Apps like Noisli allow you to use the promodoro technique, short bursts of timed output, to breaks down those difficult tasks into bite-sized pieces. Stop caffeine, unwind. The caffeine from your morning coffee-fix takes up to 20-24 hours to completely flush from your system, restricting the brain's ability to switch off – Using nutrition products like NOOreset help the body process caffeine faster allowing you to slip into a more restful state. Switch off, reset. Artificial bright light can trick the brain into thinking its daytime, which encourages active thought and halters the sleep process – Avoiding bright blue light and using Meditation apps, like Headspace, have been proven to reduce stress and stop unnecessary repetitive thought. Sleep well, get more. Ensure you give yourself time for a full nights rest, around 8hrs of uninterrupted sleep will help you wake up refreshed the next morning – Sleep monitoring apps, like SleepScore, allow you understand what helps you achieve the quality sleep you need. --Ends-- THINKNOO INFO Website: thinknoo.com Short explainer: https://www.youtube.com/ Full company press release can be found here – bit.ly/THINKNOOjourno Shannon O'Brien or Chief Science Officer, Steven Austin, can provide any further details and interviews End
