Eat peppermints, keep the window cracked to raise the oxygen levels in your cab and listen to the radio.

I wake up fresh at 5.30, have an orange, grab my ipod and go for a 30min run around the coast. I then do my stretches and have a roasting hot shower followed by 1min under the cold.\nI shave and apply a herbal face pack while I do a couple of hundred crunches.\nWash off, and eat a bowl of porrige with a couple of handfuls of berries and nuts.\nThen the drive to work, I arrive at about 8 and have a camomile tea while I check my emails, write my day prep and WISH I HAD A LIFE.  \n\nHA HA!!. Not really, I hit the snooze 4 times, eat a snickers in the car and arrive late every day.

Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoid alcohol cos it inteferes with ur sleep pattern. Make sure u do somethign 2 relax yourself 4 at least an hour b4 u go 2 bed, like read a book, watch TV, pray, or whatever makes u 'unwind'. Choose 2 get rid of any anxious thoughts or worry that creeps into ur mind as ur in bed. Sweet dreams X

get ready for bed.all of your little chores completly over with! heat an 8 ounce glass of milk,just hot as you can stand it.try your best to drink it all as fast as you can.get in bed,flat of your back.arms straight down by your sides,.close your eyes, and make your mind go blank.this will work.the good part is, you will sleep like you have had drugs,but in the morning, yo have no after effects like you would if you had taken drugs. it really is good rest. the heating of the milk activates an enzyme,found no-where else.  sweet dreams!

Drink a bottle of water as soon as you get up.  It will jump start your metabolism so that your breakfast will digest faster.  It also perks you up a bit without inudating your body with a bunch of cafeen first thing in the morning.

well, the greatest thing of all things to make time really fly by is : to sleep! Try to take a nap (only when you're not behind the steering wheel that is ;o)) and you will be arriving at ur destination before you can dream Bob's ur uncle! If the bed bugs are biting: try this game: you're thinking of something/someone, and the others in the car have to guess what it is: they can only ask YES/NO questions...it's fun!!! Have a great trip!

Eat an apple with breakfast, it supposedly wakes you up as well as a cup of coffee but is healthier for you.\n\nTake a 15-20 minute powernap on your lunch break, if you work, or after you get home from work/school.\n\nDo 15-20 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn't have to be anything really strenuous - even a little cardio work will work. After a few days of that you will feel more energized already.

LOVE the previous answer.\nAs for my experiences:\n1. get eight hours of sleep or at least try to wake up the same time everyday.\n2. try taking a 20 minute nap in the afternoon.\n3. Eat a light snack. Something with a bit of whole grains and some protein is best. \n4. Avoid heavy foods with lots of sugar and fat.\n5. Exercise.\n6. Take a break and do something that interests you.\n7. Aviod keeping the heat on too high. Warmth makes you drowsy.\n8. If you are at a desk for long periods of time, get up every hour to stretch and walk a bit.\n\nIf you are still having problems, see your physician as you may have sleep apnea or some sort of sleeping disorder.

I had the same thing when I was in school. No coffee, it gets you awake but wears off and makes you more tired than you started out. Eat lots of apples. They should keep you awake. Also focus on your work. Dont take to many breaks or else you may fall asleep. Good luck

Kick back and do nothing. I just want to get caught up on some rest. Be lazy for one day.

Hello, I woke up too early too and can't go back to sleep. I'm not blue though, have you thought about what you're gonna do for the rest of the day? Perhaps a bit later at lunchtime you could stick on a bit of chilled music and cook a nice roast slowly whilst having a couple of glasses of wine. I find that really peaceful although not high speed and exciting, it is nice sometimes just to mill around the house doing gentle domestic things. Hope you get over your blues soon.

I have a big cup of coffee ...a shower then start picking up around the house..once you start to more you get the blood flowing with more oxygen...so you are less tired..\nsome eat a big breakfast..which to me isn't really wise..as when you fast you should start off with a small amount and have something later on ...protient  and fruit are  the most important part of a good diet..\ncarbs give you a quick boost,but you end up having a sugar low within a couple hours..that can cause you to get sluggish.
