I have a fairly demanding semester approaching: 1 hour drive to work, working for an 8 hour shift, another hour drive, then 5 hours of classes. I've been thinking of ways to increase my energy because I want to get through the day fully alert, instead of just barely making it. I was drinking 2 or 3 cans a day of of pop/soda/whatever you call it, and I totally quit about 5 days ago. I also increased my water intake drastically. I can't believe the effects I'm seeing already, my energy has increased, I feel a LOT better, and I think I'm sleeping better too. If anyone who reads this is considering kicking the habit, DO IT!! |
| Exercise will get you through alot of things. There are guys at work that could work most people into the ground and smoke packs a day. Swinging a sledge hammer and carrying joints of iron is good exercise. I still can't stay awake after consecutive 18 hour days without help though. |
I drink more water than I used to, no change observed. I've gone with and without coffee, and I do better with. Hardly any soda. |
