Son of Gap	Sounds a bit confused. You indicate that you are tired during the day despite 6-8hrs sleep. The logical thing is to find a way to make your sleep more effective so that you are less tired during the day. Why not get more rest by changing your sleep patterns to see if you can be fresher from one-night's sleep? Or listen to your body and take a cat nap after getting home from work - until a better routine takes over. Keeping yourself awake after work despite indicating that your are tired during the day seems counter productive - just rearrange your evening schedule for the next 2 weeks until you feel better.

medusaswrath	Anything with caffeine. Mountain Dew, Coke, Viverin However, if you want to go the more natural route, try Reliv (a nutritional product, specifically, Reliv Energize--my mom sells it). You can only get Reliv through dealers, but it's all natural and is classified as a food not a nutritional supplement. It gives you lots of energy without having to ingest caffeine and stuff.

SINGER...	It's okay to be tired during the day. Research has determined that because of the number of hours that we are awake during the day and the stress levels we encounter (driving through horrible traffic, home issues, school issues, bills, etc.) we are most likely to need a quick nap through the day. First, make sure that you have no physical issues. An exam can determine if you have some iron or other deficiences that can be corrected with vitamins, etc. Second, treat yourself to a short nap when you get home. Try not to sleep too long otherwise you will prevent getting your full 6-8 if that's what you need. A quick nap can energize you and get you going the last half of your evening .

timtheenchanter	Excersizing is probably the best way to keep up your energy levels. Try to fit 20-30 mins of cardio into your day and you'll probably find your energy soaring. Also, make sure you drink enough water. Having low water levels will make you feel sleepy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LindaLou	I too have days when I feel sluggish after working all day. I've learned that if I just chill for a little bit, my energy picks up. A shower will perk you up, or maybe just relax and listen to some music or talk to a friend on the phone. I had trouble getting sleepy when driving and a cousin suggested not eating, along with other obvious suggestions like chew gum, blast the air conditioner and the radio. Eating and digesting slows us down and makes us sleepy. So maybe after work just chill a little and then fix something to eat, but nothing too heavy. Is there anything you can do to make your job less boring? Then there are some days that are just low energy days. As long as they are not all the time, don't expect too much of yourself.

Guelph	You may be experiencing what's known as a "carb crash". This happens when you ingest a lot of simple carbohydrates (such as white bread, white rice, anything that's been refined). Because simple carbs are easier to digest, they get digested all at once, giving you a burst of energy initially but leaving you drained later on. If this sounds like you, try switching to complex carbohydrates such as whole grain breads, pastas and cereals, as well as oatmeal and fruit. These are harder to break down, so they give you a steady supply of energy throughout the day. Also, you should be sure to include some kind of protein and/or Calcium with each meal and don't go more than 3 hours without eating. If you've tried this and are still having trouble staying awake, there's an energy drink called Fuze Energize that has no caffeine. Instead it's got the B vitamin complex, vitamin C, Ginseng and Guarana root. You drink a bottle of that stuff and it's like "Let's all go for a jog!" They have it in the juice aisle of most supermarkets and some convenience stores. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

[b. lumberg]	They say eating a cold apple in the morning is the same as drinking coffee. Also, throughout the day you might try to eat more protein, that could be the cause. I eat a ProMax protein bar in the midday and I'm fine when I get home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
