Alpha Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Lately, it's been really hard for me to sustain my energy for 12 hours straight. It doesn't matter if it's after sleeping a night for 6 hours or even 12 hours. It becomes a real struggle especially after eating a meal to keep my head fully awake. Do you guys experience this a lot? How do you combat it? I thought perhaps if I get into better shape physically that I could withstand the day longer, but I think that would require even more sleep to repair the microscopic muscle tears.Coffee doesn't even work for me anymore!

Cominus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ive been recently taking melatonine, it's what your brain produces that makes you sleepy, it's like $1 at the dollar store(duh ) and it works great. Just pop one and 15 minutes later relax your mind and you'll pass out. It's really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cominus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 No, I just don't feel sleepy, if you're lacking energy then taking a multi-vitamin, good eating habits, drinking plenty of water, and doing occasional 30 minute exercise come into play.

Sleepy throughout the day? I usually equate sleepy with lack of energy. And yes, I need to start exercising daily... that, and stretching. It's just a pain in the ass.

Cominus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I equate lack of energy to being fatigued like when you're sick or depressed, you're not sleepy but you feel like a slump, almost lacking motivation, exercise is your best bet, plus a healthy eating life style will work wonders, the crap you eat just fills your arteries with clots and junk making your heart beat harder sapping a lot of your energy, do you take a fish oil or something for heart health?

Yep, I tend to take one fish oil a day with B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, citracel calcium, and a multivitamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cominus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Careful not to over do it on vitamins, a lot of times a multi vitamin has everything you need, you can well not over dose but over due a certain vitamin and your body have a bad reaction.

Good call. You can actually overdose on Vitamin B. I should check the contents of it in my multivitamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously it's prolly that your not getting "good" sleep.Hey I fit that description at my age I have to take a nap every now and then. But I would say GC that you are just not getting a good restful sleep. Do you toss and turn a lot or do you sleep right through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
