Apart from this, have you ever felt sleepy and lethargic after sitting for a few hours? It turned out that this was not a coincidence. Because feelings of lethargy and weakness are one of the bad effects of sitting too long.
As reported by huffingtonpost.com, when you sit too long the blood flow to the brain is not smooth. As a result, your brain is deprived of oxygen-filled blood. Though this blood is useful for keeping you fresh and energized. Besides being able to make you sleepy, the blood flow that is not smooth in the brain due to sitting too long will also make you sleepy, less productive, and less alert. Even sitting too long can increase the potential for depression in your body.
It turns out, sitting too long is not only bad for your physical health. Your mental health can also play a role. So that you avoid these bad effects, at least do some light stretches while you sit down. It is also better if you do physical activity such as taking a walk around the room.
