Need an Energy Booster
I like staying up till around two in the morning and then on my own I wake up around 10 on weekends. On weekdays I go to bed at 11 and wake up around 6 am. However im exhausted most of the day and have low energy. What can I do so that I can go to bed late and wake up early and have plenty of energy? Also tea and coffee barely have an effect on me. I can drink cups of them and still fall asleep right after. I'm not very active I'm always laying down and I try getting up to dance around and be active but it doesnt last very long and then I just go back to laying down. So I dont really have any energy to do that either. So please help me! Thanks bye 15/f

Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

You may like staying up till around two, but it's on your own head be it if you feel shattered the next day.
Why do you like staying up that late? TV? Quiet? Or you may just be a night owl. Either way you're not helping yourself in terms of energy levels!
I suggest if you are a bit of a night owl to take a power nap (but not after 3pm) only for half an hour-this could boost your energy.
Try exercising before breakfast, as this will help you wake up. Or a cold shower. Also make sure you're eating healthily. Foods like chocolate and fatty foods may make you feel groggy by the end of the day-ensure you eat plenty of fruit and vitamins which give you energy. These are natural ways to gain energy-don't worry about not reacting to coffee-in my opinion its unhealthy to survive the day off stimulants like caffeine any way.
If this problem persists or is currently so bad you can't get on normally with your life speak to a doctor, to rule out any underlying health conditions.
