NEED EXTRA ENERGY? TRY THESE 3 TIPS

(1) If you stayed up too late, swap the snooze button for sunshine. Those little minutes snoozing aren't restorative. Get outside for 5 minutes to lift that mental fog more effectively. Natural light improves alertness. (2) Your at home and you are tired around 3 in the afternoon. You still have a lot to do. Make your a cup of coffee. Let it cool. Drink all of it quickly. Then right after, take a 20-minute nap. No longer than that. The caffeine will be kicked in by the time you wake. It should give you an energy boost. (3) Shake out of sleep mode by getting moving. Take the stairs. You can get 20 minutes of extra energy by going up and down the stairs at a normal pace. A release of chemicals, such as dopamine, is likely activated by exercise to make you more alert. It's like a shot of Red Bull. The only thing is you are burning calories instead of taking them in.
