1. Try to worry less.
The postpartum period is a time when you need to protect yourself from negative emotions. The fact is that due to the hormonal characteristics of your body during this period you are too sensitive. So, try to worry less and read the news less often. Remember that nothing is as important now as your child. As you reduce your anxiety, your memory and concentration will begin to recover.
2. Sleep as much as possible.
Of course, during the postpartum period it is difficult to plan and control your time – it all depends on the behavior of the child. But for the health of your nervous system and to improve concentration, you need to get a good night’s sleep at least 3 days a week. You can ask a relative to take care of your baby while you sleep. During sleep, the hormone melatonin is produced, which is responsible for repairing all brain cells.
3. Take vitamins.
Vitamins are necessary for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system as a whole. To date, there are special drugs that enrich the body with vitamins, but not all of them can be taken during breastfeeding. Therefore, before taking such drugs you need to consult a doctor. Your doctor will advise a safe and effective drug to improve concentration.
4. Do exercises to improve concentration.
Start with simple exercises and gradually increase the difficulty. For example, write 10 numbers on a piece of paper. Read them aloud several times, memorize and turn the page. Wait a minute – repeat the numbers, try to keep the sequence. If you do well with this exercise, start writing three-digit numbers.
5. Drink plenty of water and add glucose to your diet.
Water and glucose are needed for the brain to function properly. In the postpartum period, the body’s need for fluid increases, so increase the amount of fluid consumed. Also eat foods that contain glucose. Glucose is involved in the metabolism of energy processes in brain cells. In this way, you can restore concentration after childbirth.
6. Try to spend more time outdoors.
Oxygen is needed to restore brain function and increase concentration. It is especially useful to walk before and after a storm. During this period, the air is saturated with ozone, which has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and promotes cell regeneration. In addition, walking in the fresh air is also good for your child.
7. Take Armod or Artvigil.
They contain a different formulation of Modafinil – Armodafinil. Armodafinil is an alternate formulation of Modafinil. It is technically known as an indirect dopamine receptor agonist, which essentially means it blocks the reuptake of the neurotransmitter, known as dopamine, to increase its presence in the brain. Why is this good? Because this chemical is associated with concentration and wakefulness
