Eat, Drink, and Replenish Properly

If you reach for sugary snacks when your blood sugar is low and coffee when you’re sleepy, that may be contributing to your low energy levels. Processed sugars will give you energy briefly and caffeine might wake you up, but they can’t stand in for actual energy-giving nutrients. Instead, try eating light meals before you work out that are high in whole grains and protein. Don’t forget to drink water throughout since hydration is important for energy as well, and you might benefit from replenishing your electrolytes with supplements or sports drinks too.

Ween Yourself Into It

If you’re going straight into a heavy-duty workout the first time you try, you’ll most likely get tired pretty fast. Instead, train your body to be awake and ready for a workout at a specific time of day by consistently working out at that time slot. Then, slowly increase the intensity as you develop more stamina.

Get Enough Sleep

Sometimes, the most obvious solution is the right one: if you’re tired, maybe you just need more sleep. Not getting enough sleep can affect your performance in every area and is crucial to health and wellness, so make sure you’re getting as much sleep as you actually need.

Eat a Balanced Breakfast

Skipping breakfast or having an unbalanced, carb-rich meal can leave you feeling tired because your body breaks down muscle tissue at night and you aren’t giving your body the nutrients it needs to rebuild the blocks. Your breakfasts should include carbs, protein, and fat to help you feel fuller longer.

Stop Snacking Before Bed

Eating late at night can interfere with your sleep and negatively impact your appetite hormones and your body’s metabolic process. Try and stop eating at least two hours before heading to bed.

Make Homemade Food

If you eat a lot of highly processed foods instead of whole foods, your body isn’t getting the energy it needs. This leaves you feeling sluggish and with low energy levels.

Prioritize Protein

Chances are that your snacking and eating habits are different now that you have constant access to the pantry and fridge, it’s easy to grab snacks that are highly processed and high in sugar. Instead, choose protein-rich snacks like eggs or chicken wraps.

Take Breaks From Your Computer

Staring at your computer can make you tired, cause headaches, or decrease your energy. If you work at a computer all day, make sure you take constant breaks, even if it’s only walking for five minutes.

Get Sunlight

While working from home, you’re missing out on the benefits of getting outdoors and Vitamin D. Vitamin D is associated with improved mood and spending time outside in natural sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which improves your sleep.

Get Quality Sleep

Not getting enough sleep can cause irritability, weight gain, and low energy. To ensure a good night’s sleep, keep your bedroom cool, put away electronics an hour before heading to bed, avoid drinking caffeine in the evenings, and don’t have large meals before bed.

Stay Active

Exercise helps increase energy, manages stress, and it boost your mood. Try and get some sort of movement daily and aim for 150 minutes of exercise per week.
