New Year is a special holiday. Therefore, it can be very offensive if, soon after the chimes on the Spasskaya Tower are struck, they are irresistibly drawn to sleep. And then it becomes no longer up to entertaining TV programs, going out into the street, where firecrackers are launched.
Instructions
Step 1
Refrain from the typical mistake of many people who turn preparation for the New Year into a real labor feat. Of course, the house must be clean and the festive table must be laid. But there is absolutely no need to devote to cleaning and cooking all day on December 31, literally falling from fatigue. Then on New Year's Eve you will definitely think of only one thing: "I wish I could fall asleep as soon as possible!"
Step 2
Limit yourself to a reasonable minimum of work. It is not necessary, for example, that the table literally burst with a variety of dishes, and the apartment with its sterile cleanliness resembled an operating room. Why the excess? Think in advance what exactly needs to be prepared, opt for delicious, but not too laborious dishes. Distribute responsibilities among all family members. For example, while the wife is busy in the kitchen, the husband can vacuum the apartment, and the daughter or son can take out the trash, wipe the dust from the upper surfaces.
Step 3
Try to take a nap in the evening, at least one to an hour and a half. Then take a contrast shower. This tends to be good at fighting sleep.
Step 4
The room where the family celebrates the New Year should not be too warm, not too cold. A slight coolness contributes to wakefulness best of all, so shortly before gathering at the table, ventilate the room. By the way, this should be done from time to time and during a feast, as the cold air quickly drives away drowsiness.
Step 5
You should not immediately lean on food, because you have enough time, no one will drive away from the table. Try to stretch your meal by trying a little of each meal. Try to move, for example, go out onto the balcony for some fresh air, dance, etc.
Step 6
It is recommended to put a dish with sliced orange or tangerine slices on the table, as the citrus scent will energize and help overcome drowsiness.
Step 7
And, of course, try to immediately create a relaxed, festive atmosphere at the table. There is no need to talk about business matters, discuss any negative events, even if they concern people you know well. Once a year, you can forget about all this. Talk only about good things, turn on cheerful, cheerful music. Remember: you have a long January vacation ahead of you, you deserve it with a whole year of work.
