Hey all, I'm working as a waitress and often times I get soooo tired because I normally dont get off work untill about one in the morning. Anyways, I was wondering if there were any types of things I can take or do to boost my energy?? I havnt drinkin' any carbonated beverages for over 2 years, so those drinks are out, and when I take caffine pills, or energy pills, they make me sick. Its so anoying!!! Anyways, this is an easy five question and any help would be great!! Thanks

You could drink energy drinks(like red bull, etc), coffee, or anything caffienated.
There are also caffienated mints that you could find.
If you want lasting enerfy, eat a lot of protein. For quick energy you want carbs or sugar.

A few tips for boosting your energy:
1. Take a walk or get some form of activity during your lunch break. Even a 15-minute walk can greatly enhance your energy level.
2. Drink more water. Dehydration can often leave you feeling sluggish.
3. Choose lunch options wisely. High-fat or high-carbohydrate meals may leave you feeling sleepy.
4. Grab an afternoon snack. Low blood sugar can often contribute to lack of energy and difficulty concentrating. Choose a snack that's not high in sugar.
5. Take a quick nap before work. A brief 15- to 20-minute catnap can be time well spent.
6. Go outdoors. A few minutes of fresh air and natural light can work wonders.
7. Spray a rejuvenating aromatherapy mist on your face or in your room. There are many kinds of sprays with fragrances like rosemary or cinnamon clove that smell and feel invigorating.
8. Caffeine drinks work wonders. I know you said you don't drink them anymore, but really, they are the best solution of all. Red Bull keeps you awake for up to 7 hours.
Hope I helped.

You could go to Jamba Juice (if there is one near you) and get a smoothie with an energy boost in it. It worked for me when I was really tired, so hopefully it will work for you.
Hope I helped!

Excercise is a really good idea. I swim for two hours every morning and I feel great even though I get up at 5:30 and go to bed at 11:00. Exercise really does boost your energy levels. Also eating breakfast in the morning is a good idea.

Im not sure of power shakes and pillsh, being a fish of coursh, but i can shuggesht that you never ever diet or what not when you need energy. I think you should probably eatsh alot.
For high caloric drinksh(calories are another way of shaying energy)i thinksh that odwalla shuperfood would be good...

Try a caffinated tea. They do not taste like coffee or soda. They come in assorted flavors and really give you a boost.

one easy way to get more energy is to excercise a lot or eat a lot of candy bars. take 5 convinient 'coffee breaks' over the course of your work, each 10 minutes long. if anyone complains, spit in their food and sneer.
