Quit masturbating yourself. It might help you. :rolleyes:

Although maybe it shouldn't be used more than a couple of times a week at most, 5 hour energy seems to work really well for me.

But be careful, contrary to the commercials, it can make you quite jittery. Once, I took an entire bottle (only 2 fluid ounces, which actually contains over 8000% of your daily B vitamin requirements) before a major exam, and was shaking the entire time.

My teacher thought I was having a nervous breakdown or problems with stress, and now seems to think I should get a stress buster and maybe a therapist too... but other than that it works great.

But like I said, be careful with it, I actually have a really stupid friend who had a heart attack from drinking too many energy drinks at the same time. So USE IT RESPONSIBLY!

If you take the caffine road, be careful of an overdose, my sister took some caffine pills that you can buy ower the counter here in sweden.

Making sport helps a lot. Don't know if you make some, if not just pick one up, that's healthy :).
I noticed that when I don't make sport for some reasons, I'm getting less active and more quickly tired hehe.

[Chainfire]

1) Make sure there is nothing wrong with you - get your bloodwork checked out.

2) Make sure you sleep enough and regularly. Try going to bed and getting up at exactly the same time each day for a month, and make sure there are about 8 hours between those events (for some people the sweet spot is 7, for others 9). Do not deviate from these times. For some people this is completely unnecessary, others really need to do this. Especially if you have been sleeping irregularly for some time.

3) Make sure you eat right, i.e. getting the right vitamins you need. Having too little of some vitamins makes you tired. Having too much of other vitamins may kill you though :P Again, get yourself checked out - it is fairly common that your body may not 'handle' certain vitamins right, which again can make you dead tired. There are various ways to handle that, your doctor will know the best way for you if that is your problem. BUT, do NOT take general vitamin supplements. Most of the time taking those leads to having too many vitamins, which is just as bad as too little. You will get enough of most vitamins from whatever you eat, even if you don't eat healthy.

4) Stop drinking anything containing caffeine - period. Not drinking caffeine at all for weeks straight has pretty much the same effect as drinking caffeine daily :) The more caffeine you drink, the longer it takes for this to go normal again. Energy drinks, coffee, etc are all bad ideas if you want to be awake. Quit them altogether. (Remember caffeine is a drug!)

5) Stop drinking milk and similar dairy products. Milk is the primary dairy product that can cause what I'm about to explain, but it depends on yourself. Most people for example don't have this issue with yoghurt or cheese. About 1 in 10 people does not burn dairy products correctly - but a much smaller number actually knows this. The result is almost always getting tired. I personally know several people who suffer from this and not drinking milk, eating yoghurt etc solved most of their tiredness issues.

6) Don't drink any alcohol for a few weeks. Makes you tired if you drink more than your body can properly take care of (which isn't all that much).

7) Stop smoking. Also makes you tired.

8) Exercise! Helps a lot. And not just your body - do not forget your brain. Keep your mind occupied - throw away the TV (there's nothing worth watching on it anyway!)

9) Destress yourself. If you are having stress, do what it takes to get rid of it. Stress is a killer and wears you out if you have it for long periods of time.

Try doing all of the above for a month... I guarantee you will feel better. Once everything is settled again your body should be able to take some 'slacking' again for a while :)

Get a life, which obviously none of us have:)

[leobox1]

thanks for those who gave the constructive advise :P

i guess its the lack of sports and sleep... i manage around 6-7 hours.. i think i am a 9hours person... work work.. with the great crisis now... WORK IS MORE IMPT :( sigh

[CraZyLiLbOy]

Are you sure about that? Because I'm sure as hell I got a life ;)

Nuff Said, lol

I forgot to bring eye problems up. Do you wear contact lenses or did you notice that your view was somehow getting worse?

Both cases are pretty harsh for your brain, cause contact lenses are known to be tougher to wear than standard glasses (yes, that's also a question of habits and so on ;) ), and if you have view problems (even small), then you brain tries hard to adapt but can't succeed it.

All of this make tired as hell, own experience speaking :).

[DhaMajoR]

Go to the Gym, if you dont already ;)

[leobox1]

no time for gymmmmmmm :(

my eye sight is indeed not the best..

I used to spend a lot of time around my computer screen for work and leisure. I committed myself to less time on the computer and more time with paper work, friends, and family. Try not to use the computer as much I am full of energy now, well somewhat.

oh .. u mean u tear yourself off the pc.. and u find yourself less tired?.. any idea why? is using the pc so tiring? i heard folks saying this too

I was at work one day and my boss said I looked exhausted. I told him I wasn't sleeping that well. He suggested I spend less time around the computer at work then he unplugged my monitor. I then decided to take his advice within a week of using the computer 2-3hrs less a day, I was sleeping better and when I did not get the best sleep I had more energy.

So if time does not allow you to exercise, try stepping away from the computer when you are at home for a few hours less a day or even a week. See if that helps.

[deuzeff]

Yeah the problem nowaday for lots of people is that people use computer at work AND at home. That represents a large (huge) amount of the day (let's say one use the computer 6/8 hours at work + 3/5 hours at home, if not way more).

That way, yes, you get tired (why, I don't know, I'm no doc :p, but it certainly has to do with the light from the display, concentration and so on). At the same, you destroy your eyes, very modern sadely.

One thing I have heard and learned to do: never go to bed directly after switching off the tv or the cmputer, your head is then still too much working on what you saw or did before you get yourself in bed. Reading is friendlier.

or from killing zombies in left 4 dead LOL

I agree - can't imagine why I forgot to mention that. I usually read 30 minutes to an hour before sleep myself. Do something else after using the computer before going to sleep.

Also, one thing that really helps is turning down the contrast and/or brightness on your monitor. Brightness at 50% and contrast at 75% is more than enough, or even go lower. I've noticed lots of people put both on 100% - and while this often does look better, it's much more strain on your eyes (and thus makes you tired).

I know some people swear by using black background with gray text (instead of the default black on white or black on silver for most applications), but I'm personally not a fan :)

[leobox1]

lol the PC got the blunt of our discussion

[leobox1]

[-PiLoT-]

i once took 19 pro plus n 6 hours once and it had no effect whatsoever

For as long as i can remember, i always felt tired. Really tired. Tests were always ok, so i really thought i had one of those unusual diseases that only about 10 people in the world have. And i had a really nasty cold every 4-5 months. So i started using multivitamins, but really using them, not every now and then, but every day, and, low and behold, things got real better. I don't feel tired anymore (without any reason) and i haven't had a cold in about a year and a half, and i have never in my life had such a long period without a cold.

[galaxys]

I was somewhat tired years ago just working and not doing sports. But now I'm never tired! I excercise everyday (heavy cardio every other day)! This makes me relax at night, and I sleep 8 solid hours!! It's the fountain of youth!!!

[leobox1]

so i guess sports is VERY impt
