    Default Can't wake up......

    Ugh... I've been so tired. So very tired. It's finals week and I am beat beat beat! However... I must go work.
    What can I eat, drink, take, rub all over myself, what ever, to help me be cheery and rosy and fantastic like usual? I don't drink coffee (it makes my tummy feel yucky) so I don't know what to do.

    there was an artical in prevention magizime that listed energy foods. Almonds and strawberrys are at the top of the list. I am not a big beliver in energy drinks and things but a friend of mine swears by monster.

    I'm having that same dilemma at the moment. Today will be my 4th day of work in a row, and I am pooped. And though I am tired, I can't really fall asleep/take a nap, etc.
    Right now I am going to drink water and go for a brisk walk. When I get back from my walk I'll let you know if it does any good. MMaybe exercise will be the key to waking my lazy ass up.

    Yeah, I would try exercise. I've been doing schoolwork all day every day of this week and I finally got my ass off the couch (I'm doing online classes) and went for a run. I feel so much better and energetic!

    OK I'm back. A 30 min. walk does wonders.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm doing 21 units and 3 classes are short ones so everything is compressed. I'm taking several tests back to back this week and I have papers due almost every day. I'm so stressed that my skin feels like its terribly sunburned which is weird but happens when I hit my breaking point. I've discovered that the only thing that works for me is to get 8 hours of sleep regardless if it cuts into studying time or not. I study 100% better if I'm rested and if I'm not I'm a zombie and might as well not be studying at all. I'm a big baby with sleep lol.

    Ok, study break is up. Back to work and Gluck to everyone on their finals!

    Exercise is definitely best but, if there's no time, there's nothing like a shower with an energizing body scrub. I find that anything with mint in it really wakes me up.

    I use a rosemary/mint one, but there are other combos on the market.

    Sleep Sapper: Sloppy Bedtime Habits
    Surprise, surprise: The number one reason most of us are exhausted is that we're simply not sleeping enough. How to tell? "If you wake up feeling groggy instead of refreshed, you're not getting enough sleep," .... While some people can get by on just a few hours, it's best to shoot for at least eight hours a night. To ensure an adequate amount of shut-eye, practice good sleep habits: Go to bed and get up at roughly the same time each day (even on weekends), use your bed for sleeping only (and for sex, of course) and put the kabosh on any noises or lights that could be disturbing your slumber.

    Sleep Sapper: A Stimulating Diet
    There are six common dietary pitfalls that can affect your energy level throughout the day...not drinking enough water (dehydration makes you feel sluggish), eating too little protein (protein keeps organs functioning and energy levels high), eating too few or too many carbohydrates (carbs keep blood sugar levels in check so you feel wide awake throughout the day), relying on caffeine (if you need it to be alert, you're drinking too much — try to limit your intake to approximately one cup of coffee or two diet sodas per day), not timing meals well (waiting too long to refuel results in low blood sugar and energy levels) and not eating a balanced diet (which means you're probably missing out on important vitamins and minerals). Make just a few of these changes...and you'll feel more vigorous almost immediately.

    Sleep Sapper: Lack of Exercise
    Contrary to popular belief, exercise shouldn't make you feel more tired; indeed, working up a sweat is actually energizing. Physical activity conditions your body so that everyday tasks are more effortless... For maximum sleep benefits, try to work out at least three times a week for at least 20 minutes a shot. On days when you're especially weary, try some simple stretches, to relax you and get your blood pumping.

    Buy some wild blueberries. Suppose to be great for memory power. Make some juice a week before the test.
