Ok people, the power is about to be in your hands. So many people already HAVE the tools and knowledge they need to truly eliminate tiredness from their lives, but they lack to motivation and end up chasing hours of crappy sleep with coffee, energy shots, and other "quick-fixes". However, what if someone was to tell you that making simple, non-obtrusive changes to several of your habits could leave you more alert, awake, productive, and not to mention in a better mood, every single day. Now what if that person also mentioned that you could sleep LESS and accomplish this? It might sound crazy, but I'm a person telling you exactly that.
First of all, let's look at eating and diet, and how you can use them to have more energy. While I could rant about healthy eating habits, it'd be just a little bit hypocritical as I myself indulge in the eating of the kind of fatty, sugary delights from time to time that can sap your energy right out from under you. However, there is another crucial mistake that many of us make: We eat 3 meals a day.
"Wait, what's wrong with THAT?" you might be asking yourself. To put it simply, we evolved (or were designed, if you prefer) to eat frequently. Our ancestors were foragers and would be constantly snacking on small portions throughout the day, maintaining a steady stream of energy. Nowadays we have 3 pre-defined meals and snacking in between them can be problematic to our health, weight, and appearance because we eat so many calories at each of those meals. As a result, many people experience energy dips, especially between lunch and dinner where six or more hours may pass without eating.
To address this, try and eat ever 3-4 hours or so. Snacking on high protein foods in between your larger meals (you'll also want to cut down your portions a bit at the 3 main ones).
Alternatively, another way you get have more energy is by sleeping SMARTER, not longer. Because our body sleeps in cycles of 90 minutes, you can easily sleep just 6 or 7.5 hours and get several FULL cycles of sleep (because these hours are divisible by 1.5) and wake up more rested than if you had slept 8 or ten hours because you wouldn't be waking your body up in the middle of a reparative cycle.
