Causes of brain fog: Sometimes when we wake up in the morning, even after getting full sleep of 7 to 8 hours, the mind feels heavy and dull. There is difficulty in thinking and understanding, it is not focused and the mood is not good either. In such a situation, we think that perhaps tiredness has become more or sleep was not good. But if this is happening again and again, then you may be falling prey to “brain fog”.
Now the question comes that when we get full sleep, why does the mind remain dull? The answer is hidden in our lifestyle. It is important to complete sleep, but just counting hours does not cure everything. The quality of sleep is equally important. If you scroll on mobile or laptop just before bedtime or sleep again and again at night, then sleep is good but the mind does not get rest.
Due to busy lifestyle, we are not able to pay attention to ourselves. For this reason, our brain is not even able to get rest, only then problems like brain fog start. In such a situation, let us know what is brain fog and how can it be avoided.
