How can I stay awake in the day without caffeine?

Question

I've been very tired for the past 2 weeks. I have had about 7 hours average of sleep at night. I don't drink coffee to keep myself awake and I don't use caffeine pills. I am not stressed out at the time being and my health is perfectly fine. So what's your diagnosis for me?

I see your point in changing the diet. I haven't really changed much about it. Not the amount I eat, but more of when I eat dinner. I try to eat dinner earlier so I can have more time to do more things.

Answer 1

For one thing, you probably need more than 7 hours of sleep a night. Try making an effort to get the 8-9 hours of sleep doctors recommend and that would probably help you. There are some OTC pills that are supposed to help a person sleep also. Tylenol makes one called Simply Sleep that you could try. Also, have you started a diet or changed your eating habits in the past couple of weeks? A friend of mine went on a very low-carb diet and began to feel tired as a result. If you develop other symptoms that worry you I would see a doctor. Sudden tiredness with no known cause is a possible sign of many different illnesses and disorders. Again, I would only see a doctor though if other symptoms develop, or if this sleepiness greatly interferes with your daily activities. Hope that helped!

ok firstly get atleast 7 hours sleep! Also they say that waking up on your first alarm ring rather than delaying is better for your help, wierd i know.
While at work do something interesting and fun, its all psychological.
If all fails then sew your eyelids to your eyebrows!

get more excersise, get that old ticker woking hard, make that oxygen rich blood scream through your veins. ALso eating a huge meal at lunch time makes you drowzy a hour or so later
