Good quality sleep. For years, I let my cats sleep in the bedroom, awakening me several times per night. When I had a young child, things were even worse. Since child has become a teen and cats have been banished to the basement at night, I have never felt better because most nights, I sleep through without interruption. I don't know if this is a problem for anyone else.
Second to that, I would agree with the others about smaller, frequent meals to keep blood sugar steady, while avoiding the simple carbs. I have hypoglycemia, and nothing will tire me faster than having my blood sugar crash. It ruins my energy level for the rest of the day, among other things, so I work very hard at not having that happen.
Another thing I've noticed over the past year or so is that the better I deal with stress and limit the mental tapes playing through my head, the less tired I will be. Those types of thoughts are very tiring for me. |
