Hello Sunshine!
My name's Jamie..call me what you prefer.
I'm not here to judge, just to help people with their problems.
I love helping people out, it's one of the most satisfying feelings.
When you rate me, I'd prefer if you put a reasoning behind the rating, just so I know how I'm doing/how I can improve.


Feel free to leave me questions!
XOXO.

>> PS. If you plan on asking me a question, please, type grammatically correct and put punctuation marks where necessary...instead of like this: "muh boyfran lefff meh nD eye dunno waddado. halp?" (haha okay maybe that's a little exaggerated.. but you get my point!)




advice

during the schoolyear, i would always feel very tired and exhausted when i'd get back from school. i'd usually go to bed around 11 and wake up at 6, getting back from school around 2:30 - 2:40.

i had a lot of books to carry around this year (couldn't really stop at my locker) so that might have contributed to my lack of energy. by the beginning of 8th period, i'd be pooped, cranky, and exhausted.

i know you can buy energy bars and get more sleep (most days, i'd end up napping for 3-4 hours after i finished my homework) anyway, but what else can i do?

1.) i'll stop at my locker more often this year
2.) go to bed at a reasonable time & wake up as late as possible without being late for school
3.) what about eating? what foods should i eat to help boost up my energy? like, fruit and stuff? especially for breakfast, lunch, and when i get back from school? what vitamins help with energy boosts?

i do not want to take pills / go to my doctor.

thanks

Try to add more fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates and proteins into your diet. Protein can give you more energy as can complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates include whole grain breads, crackers, cereals, etc. Simple carbohydrates simply generate sugar in your system which can give a short burst of energy but then leaves you lower than you started. Think of your body as a car and the food you put in it as fuel. If you add rocket fuel, you’ll get a short fast burst and then plummet into space. Feed your body healthy foods and do it in small amounts at a time, like adding wood to the fire. You wouldn’t want to put all your logs on at once, keep the fire burning at an even pace and it will last all day.


Exercise is a great way to increase your energy level and fight off feelings of fatigue. Just a few minutes a day of exercise can really transform how you feel and how much energy you have to put toward getting through your day.
