Energy Supplements
Lately I've been really tired in the mornings. School started over a month ago and I can still barely keep myself awake in my first and second block classes...and it sometimes lasts until the end of the day. I go to sleep at about 11:30 and wake up at 6:15. I need to start waking up at 5:45 so I can work out in the mornings, but that'll be hard when I can barely keep my eyes open in the morning.
What's something that can keep me awake during school? Do those Vitamin B pills work? I need something that actually works and won't make me crash when it wears off. I hear that those energy drinks wear off quick and you feel really bad when that happens. It's not something I can fix with my diet because I eat healthy and I can't go to sleep earlier.
Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Try going to bed about 45 minutes earlier. You might be surprised at how much less tired you feel in the morning. If that doesn't work, there's these tiny little bottles about the size of your thumb. They have energy stuff in them, and they're pretty much all caffeine. You can buy them at dick's. :)

Okay, well I can definitely help you out here.
I go to bed at 2 or 3AM, wake up at 5:30 or 6AM because I have so much HW and extracurricular activities going on. And I'm a really diligent at doing my work and managing time. This happens on the weekends, too. So basically I live off of 4 to 5(If I'm lucky) hours of sleep everyday.
1. Exercising DOES help in keeping you awake in the mornings. It gets your pumping, thus getting you hyped up. And exercising for at least 15min is proven to keep you awake until 3PM in some cases.
2. Do not eat bananas. They are natural beta blockers and have soporific effects on people.
3. Drink black coffee or green tea (Organic preferably) Black coffee is 5 calories per cup serving, which is like a tsp of coffee. And green tea is just plain delicious, healthy, 0 cals, and loaded with caffeine.
That's how I stay awake. You might want to drink coffee/tea like an hour before when you have to be awake, though. And whenever you get tired in class, just find a stupid reason to stand up and walk to something (Sharpening your pencil, bathroom, water, tissue, ask question, etc)

Actually, getting up and working out will do you wonders. Nothing gets the blood pumping first thing in the morning like exercise. That is the best thing you can do for yourself to get your motor going for the day.
Also, I read that eating an apple in the morning does more to wake you up and energize you than a cup of coffee. All natural and good for you, too. It is worth a shot, anyhow.
You can try energy pills and drinks, but they aren't good for your body. Also, you wouldn't want to become dependent on them.
