쉐도잉 연습: Why You're Always Tired (and how to fix it) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

A portion of this video was sponsored by Google Career Certificates.

Do you feel tired all the time?

If you're anything like me, you've spent years of your life either waking up tired every single day or just generally feeling drained all the time.

It sucks.

Except I honestly don't feel that way anymore.

I spent the past few years obsessing over sleep research

and my own habits to figure out how to feel less tired

and be more energized and that's what I'm going to share today.

The top research and expert back tips that I've followed to not only feel more alert and alive, but it'll also help you fall asleep well way faster for those who struggle with that too.

Consider this the ultimate guide to feeling less tired that you

and I can reference back to whenever we're hitting those slumps in life.

First up, we have to get two obvious things out of the way.

Number one, are you getting enough sleep?

I know this hardly feels like a tip worth sharing.

Hmm, maybe you should sleep more if you're tired.

Mind blown.

But a lot of people don't know how much sleep their brain and body actually needs.

Like, how many hours should you be asleep for?

is seven to eight hours consistently is the most optimal, but over 50 % of people are getting less than six hours a night.

And countless studies have shown that getting less than six hours on a regular basis is equivalent to being cognitively drunk,

and under four hours a night is obviously even worse.

There is a very small genetic minority that can handle really low hours, but chances are you and I are not it,

especially if you clicked place to look is the sheer number of hours you're getting.

Do whatever you can to regularly get as close to eight hours as possible

and if you aren't already you'll likely feel a huge difference.

And number two, just before we jump into the changes you can actually make today, an important question to ask yourself is: what is your chronotype?

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

These might just seem like cute terms but we can actually see genetic differences

that make some people more prone to get up early and others to stay up late.

And it's not simply a matter of making yourself go to bed at a different time.

If you're night owl but you're trying to make yourself fall asleep early, you won't be getting good quality sleep because it doesn't match your innate circadian rhythm.

It's part of the reason teenagers are so desperately exhausted in school

because their chronotype naturally shifts to later at night as they go through puberty, meaning early mornings are exceptionally hard.

Later start times at school increase class attendance, decrease behavioral and psychological problems, and decrease substance and alcohol abuse in teens.

I know your schedule isn't always your choice but if you have the flexibility to match your chronotype, a long way to feeling less tired.

Also know that your chronotype can change throughout your life.

Alright, so I thought the easiest way to break down these science -backed tips would be chronologically.

Starting from the moment you wake up and going through your day all the way to your bedtime and sleeping habits.

But before we do that, I want to take a quick moment to thank today's sponsor, Google Career Certificates, for sponsoring this portion of the video.

We know that good sleep improves your cognitive ability, memory capacity, reaction time, productivity, creativity.

What better way to use those advantages than to get a certificate

that can fast -track you to in -demand jobs in under six months without the need for a college degree

or prior experience.

Google Career Certificates not only lead to job opportunities by improving tangible skills, but you're able to take them at your own pace and on your own terms.

They're available in job fields of IT support, data analytics, project management, and user experience design,

and they recently launched the Google Digital Marketing and E -Commerce Certificate, which focuses on the skills that employers are hiring for.

These certificates are taught and developed by Google employees who are subject matter experts working in these fields and upon completion,

you can connect directly with top employers who are currently hiring.

And unlike many other learning experiences, you won't be sleep deprived because of these.

Score for sleeping!

I started taking the marketing course myself.

You know I love learning

and it's amazing what it feels like to learn from someone who's a literal expert at Google in their field.

Head to grow .google /certificates to start learning job -ready skills that will help you in job applications and interviews.

Thanks again to Google Career Certificates for sponsoring this to more tiredness tips.

Alright, what are the first moments of your day likely include?

An alarm.

It's maybe time to change your alarm sound.

Studies have shown that melodic alarms, like those that play music, not only reduce perceived sleep inertia and tiredness in the morning,

but actually improve psychomotor abilities and reduce attention issues compared to neutral alarms.

Personally, I love an alarm that starts quiet and slowly builds over time so that I'm not jarred out of sleep, but ultimately you just want to choose something that's melodic, like music.

Don't hit snooze.

Your body goes through multiple sleep cycles every night from light sleep to deep sleep to REM sleep

and then back to light sleep and this repeats over

and over and

if your alarm goes off in the middle of deep sleep you're way more likely to feel sleep inertia

and groggy when woken up.

Now the problem with the snooze button is

when you're getting close to your natural waking time the body starts preparing itself by releasing hormones

and increasing body temperature but alarms often cut this process short

which is why you feel tired especially when sleep deprived

but by hitting the snooze button you're basically telling your body to restart another sleep cycle and head back towards deep sleep.

This means you'll have the same problem when the alarm goes off again and may feel even more tired.

Honestly, you're much better off getting that extra 10

or 20 minutes of sleep time than setting your alarm early and just snoozing it a bunch.

Move around when you wake up.

Recent evidence has shown that as little as 30 seconds of physical activity can improve perceived alertness in the morning.

This may be because of an increased cortisol awakening response.

Important to note that while participants felt They actually didn't perform any better on tests with morning exercise, but hey, sometimes you just want to feel better.

Expose yourself to bright light in the morning.

Light exposure is key to regulating your sleep patterns.

Of course, sunlight is the best way to trigger this, but studies have even found that bright, artificial light in the morning can help stimulate wakefulness.

Even beyond just the morning, make sure you're being exposed to daylight.

Try to get outside in natural sunlight for at least 30 minutes a day, and if you have problems falling asleep, experts recommend one hour of morning daylight exposure,

Turn down the lights before bedtime.

Hydration.

First thing in the morning when your body hasn't taken in any fluids for a while can be super helpful.

Studies have shown that not only are alertness and concentration improved with hydration, but so are cognitive abilities and your mood.

Caffeine.

We all know her, we all love her.

I mean, obviously caffeine's like a secret cheat code for feeling less tired.

Your brain naturally accumulates adenosine through the day, making you feel tired, but caffeine binds to these same receptors, blocking them from making you feel tired.

And that's a great temporary solution.

Except with chronic caffeine use, your brain actually creates more receptors, meaning you need more caffeine to block that adenosine accumulation.

For the most part, people can have a perfectly healthy relationship with caffeine.

The bigger problem seems to be how close to bedtime you're drinking it.

Since the half -life of coffee is around 6 hours, that means if you have a coffee at 6pm, by midnight there would still be 50 % of it in your body,

and this caffeine has a direct impact on sleep quality.

Ultimately, trying to contain your caffeine intake to the morning or midday will not only make it easier to fall asleep, improve your sleep quality through the night.

100

Speaking of stuff you're consuming, let's talk about diet.

101

Now, anecdotally, I personally feel a huge difference when I'm eating healthy consistently, and so this has become a major focus area for me.

102

I can immediately feel energy changes when I'm not eating well, but the science behind this area is tricky 'cause there's so many different diets and everybody's body reacts differently to food.

103

There are some studies that show correlations between whole food diets and higher energy levels, or that higher levels of processed foods make people feel more tired.

104

low -fiber diets also impact non -REM sleep quality, and result in more awakenings at night.

105

Without trying to give you diet advice, I'll just say that for me, my food intake has personally played a huge role in my energy levels.

106

But the hardest part was that it wasn't an immediate thing.

107

It's been sort of over a long -term habit change that I could really see those differences.

108

I still obviously let myself indulge, but now I can immediately feel the difference when I've eaten really unwell.

109

We all have a general idea of what healthy eating is, so do what feels right for you within those guidelines.

110

Similar to coffee, though, 'cause that can cause indigestion, which impacts your sleep.

111

Exercise.

112

This one has been the other game changer for me, which I know is so annoying to hear.

113

I used to hate exercising, but I started by just adding more walks in my day, and have slowly worked my way up to proper resistance training and cardio.

114

I'm actually really proud of how far I've come.

115

Like, look at me lifting those weights.

116

Sleep studies show that exercise increases total sleep time, especially non -REM, and increases the overall quality of sleep.

117

On average, subjective alertness improves, and the time it takes participants to fall asleep decreases, waking times across the night.

118

But an interesting takeaway from these studies is that the relationship between exercise

119

and sleep isn't always consistent on a day -to -day basis.

120

So just because you worked out hard today doesn't mean you'll see or feel those benefits tonight.

121

Much like diet, it's the long -term changes that seem to make a bigger difference.

122

Ironically, studies also find that while exercise improves sleep, sleep can improve your exercise capacity, so it's a nice little positive reinforcement circle going on there.

123

I know it's impossible to untangle the tips I've already shared and the ones I've still yet to share, but I feel like exercise has had one of the biggest impacts on my life.

124

I spend a lot of the day sitting on a chair, looking at a computer, and the days where I go without moving, I can physically feel my energy levels lower.

125

It's the weirdest phenomenon that moving and using energy gives you more energy, but personally, that is what I have found.

126

Ultimately, it's pretty clear from the research that a sedentary lifestyle not only impacts sleep quality, but life quality.

127

The only time to avoid exercise is, you guessed it, right before bed.

128

Body temperature can remain high for an hour or two, for your body to drop its temperature in preparation for sleep.

129

Napping, my favorite thing.

130

20 to 30 minute naps have been shown to increase productivity, cognitive function, memory, creativity, and make people feel less tired.

131

Just remember though, under 30 minutes, and you're not likely to go into deep sleep.

132

If you wanna go longer, I suggest sleeping a full sleep cycle, which is around 1 .5 hours for most people.

133

To me, this is a sleep and not a nap, but you're way more likely to wake up out of light sleep and experience less sleep inertia.

134

Finally, try not to nap after 3 :00 PM, affect your ability to fall asleep later.

135

Alcohol.

136

It's ironic that we tend to drink in the evenings because alcohol is sleep's worst enemy.

137

You might think a nightcap relaxes you or helps you fall asleep better, but the truth is it robs you of REM sleep and keeps you in the lighter stages of sleep.

138

It can contribute to impaired breathing through the night

139

and you're more likely to wake up in the middle of the night when the effects have worn off.

140

And of course, being hungover won't make you feel any more energetic tomorrow or look any better for that matter.

141

Now, when it comes to bedtime, have a warm shower or bath before bed.

142

get out of the warmth, your body will radiate the heat and start working to cool down.

143

And this is actually one of the natural processes that happens as you fall asleep.

144

Your body temperature drops.

145

So by creating an environment where that can happen naturally, your body and brain will begin to feel sleepy.

146

Not to mention the natural relaxation that a calming bath can provide.

147

Sleep in a dark, cool environment.

148

For a similar reason, having a cool environment helps promote sleep.

149

And darkness plays a major role in not stimulating your brain, so remove any gadgets or bright clocks that might be

150

clock it's better to turn it away from you so you won't worry about the time while you're trying to fall asleep.

151

Put away your gadgets.

152

I know it's tempting, if not literally impossible, not to sit in bed and use your phone, and I even used to use mine as my alarm.

153

But not only does pre -bedtime phone use stimulate your brain with activity and shine light directly into your eyes, tricking your brain into thinking the time might be different,

154

but simply having the phone in your room and being able to see it can occupy your mind.

155

So if you can bear it, put the phone and any other gadgets outside your bedroom.

156

Don't lie awake in bed.

157

until you feel sleepy.

158

It's so easy to feel anxious when your eyes are closed

159

and nothing's happening and you know you have to be up early in the morning.

160

That only makes things worse, so get up for a bit and do what you can to just chill and relax.

161

If you wake up in the middle of the night, don't check the clock.

162

Checking the time in the middle of the night can cause anxiety and a cortisol spike, which will only make it harder to go back to sleep.

163

Individuals who have insomnia often watch the clock, causing a similar effect.

164

And while you're up, try and avoid any bright lights, like a bathroom light.

165

Again, your body's circadian rhythm responds to light, the darker you can keep it, the better.

166

Nightlights aren't just for kids.

167

Now, before I go over the final and most important tip, it's worth mentioning that there are obviously health issues, and medical conditions that can affect not only your sleep, but your energy levels.

168

So if you seem to be trying everything and nothing's working, it's definitely worth talking to your healthcare professional.

169

And perhaps the most important tip of all, develop a sleep schedule.

170

This, along with exercise and sleep, has easily had the biggest impact on my energy levels.

171

You wanna try and go to bed and wake up at the same time, If you can't follow any other tips, I suggest this one in conjunction with getting enough sleep.

172

Creating a routine will set up your body to work like literal clockwork.

173

Anytime my sleep schedule gets moved around, whether we're traveling or it was the weekend and I was out, I can always tell how badly it impacts my life over the next few days.

174

So the more you can keep a consistent schedule, the more your body knows the game, when to fall asleep immediately, when it should start its morning routine, and when you need your most energy.

175

I'm telling you, commit to a schedule, and even when you get bumped into your sleep, it's not going to be a good time off of it, which is inevitable, just take your time and get back on track.

176

For me, that's going to bed at midnight and waking up at 8 a .m every day that I possibly can.

177

For you, that might be shifted to a different time.

178

And when I'm in a good swing of it, I rarely need my alarm because my body just naturally wakes up.

179

At the end of the day, I'll say it again, for me, I think sleep schedule, exercise, and diet have had the biggest role in my energy levels.

180

Yes, I fall off course and sometimes have bad days or weeks in a row where I'm exhausted, but thinking back on who I used to be before I implemented all these practices,

181

I was literally tired every day.

182

I would say it to myself, I'm always exhausted and I actually don't feel that way anymore.

183

Yes, I still have tired days, but me as a whole, I'm a person with way more energy.

184

So my fingers are crossed that this list is useful to you and helps you become a more well -rested, energized person.

185

If you have your own personal anecdotes or other studies you know of, feel free to comment.

186

Many people will be looking at me for any little extra chip they can do to optimize their sleep and energy.

187

Otherwise, thank you so much for watching.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
