i dont have enough time for sleep... how can i get enough energy to last through my day?

Question

i play sports year round
i stretch and exercise every morning
i've tried energy drinks, but they dont seem to work.

Answer 1

I average about 4 hours of sleep a night because of school and studying. My way of getting through the day is: tea in the morning, diet coke, and in the afternoon i always get a natural boost from exercise.

I know its hard but we should all aim for more sleep.

Answer 2

For quick energy caffine does the trick, but it also will eventually drain you later. Eat very healthy and take in more (healthy) carbs, but don't eat a lot at once because that will make you tired. Sleep obviously is the best thing to get, because if you don't sleep enough the lack of it will build up your exhaustion.

Answer 3

Well, energy drinks work but you know what gets you up and motivated? Exercising. Even if its just jumping jacks or dancing to music in your room. Anything that breaks a sweat it will get you pumped up. Also stay hydrated and get your proteins, veggies, and fruits. I'm guessing you have breaks in between your schedule to do such things otherwise the only thing I know that works for people is energy drinks. They get up drink and go.

Answer 4

Get more exercise. If you walk or jog in the morning, you will have more energy all day and sleep better at night. Don't exercise in the evening as it makes it harder to sleep.

Answer 5

Try to take at least a five minute nap anywhere you can.Drink coffee in the morning and eat a lot in the day.If you have food in your body you will have more energy.

Answer 6

good sleep takes minimum 6 hours.

if you sleep less, than you must have a 'quality' sleep, meanning you must have really sleep (totally unconscious, without any dream), your brain may not think or 'work'.
then 4 hours sleep is okay.

Answer 7

see if you can get a power nap in there somewhere
if you cant you can eat an energy bar they help

Answer 8

make some sport!!!
