Some seemingly harmless habits actually prevent your body from waking up easily. If every morning you experience puffiness, heaviness under your eyes, or a feeling that your face is “puffy,” it may not be due to your sleep, but to the way you end the evening and start the day.
First, stop drinking large sips of water or tea right before bed. It is better to quench your thirst 1.5–2 hours before rest, then the liquid will have time to be distributed and not accumulate under the eyes.
Secondly, do not fall asleep on your back with your head held high. The pillow should support your neck and not lift your chin toward the ceiling. Otherwise, the outflow of lymph is disrupted, and by the morning the face looks “puffy.”
Thirdly, do not jump out of bed immediately after waking up. Give yourself 2-3 minutes: stretch while lying down, take a few deep breaths, gently move your palms from the center of your face to your temples. This will start microcirculation and help the body move into an alert state without jerking.
These small changes quickly have an effect. You will simply stop noticing the heaviness in your face in the morning.

The body's response to changes in nutrition may depend on individual physiological characteristics, genetic predisposition and health status. Before making any dietary changes, it is recommended that you consult with a dietitian or healthcare professional to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the measures you choose.
