Master your breath: Breathe deeply from your diaphragm. This will help oxygenate your cells and give you more energy.

Drink more water: Most people are chronically dehydrated, which can lead to fatigue. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Get enough sleep: When you don't get enough sleep, you'll feel tired. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep per night, but some people may need more or less.

Eat a healthy diet: The food you eat can affect your energy levels. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Skip breakfast (optional): The speaker says that he skips breakfast and feels more energetic in the morning. This may not work for everyone, so experiment and see how you feel.

Move your body: Exercise is a great way to boost your energy levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

Mindset: Your mindset can have a big impact on your energy levels. Having a positive outlook and believing in yourself can help you feel more energized.

This video talks about three critical periods throughout a day to optimize your wakefulness, focus, mood and sleep. The first critical period is from the time you wake up until about three hours after waking. During this time, you should get morning sunlight exposure, consume 90 to 100 milligrams of caffeine, and do some exercise.

The second critical period is throughout the day and afternoon leading into evening. Avoid consuming too much caffeine in the afternoon/evening, and limit naps to under 90 minutes to avoid disrupting nighttime sleep. You can also try Yoga Nidra or nsdr for relaxation during this period.

The third critical period is not discussed in detail in this excerpt. However, the video mentions forced exercise prior to wake up times as a tool to advance your circadian clock.

 Joey says that the feeling of tiredness can be both mental and physical. So the first tip is to decide that you are not tired. Our mind can play tricks on us. By believing you are energetic, you will likely act more energetic.

Second, don't oversleep. While getting enough sleep is important, oversleeping can make you feel sluggish. The speaker recommends getting between seven and eight hours of sleep, but finding a consistent wake up time is even more important.

Third, exercise regularly. The speaker recommends exercising every day with more intensive exercise every other day. It might take a one to two weeks of consistent exercise before you feel the energy boost.

Fourth, eat a better diet. Focus on reducing sugar and cheap carbs like donuts and cookies. Instead, eat more complex carbs like brown rice and sweet potatoes, healthy fats like avocados, and dark green vegetables. Drink plenty of water throughout the day as well.

Fifth, perform a mid-day reset. When you feel a dip in energy in the afternoon, instead of taking a nap or browsing social media, do something physically demanding. This could be a short walk, meditation, or a trip to the gym. Even though it seems counterintuitive, expending a little energy will actually give you more energy.

Sleep is crucial. I have chosen to stay up late, get 5 hours and the next day all my goals suffer. It's the price I pay. It's about commitment, avoiding little things we like but are not great for us. Go to sleep on time and prioritize sleep!

Yes I have noticed this too. The days I get good sleep, my energy levels are better than other days.
