There are many things that I have noticed that affect my energy levels. To sum it all up, the biggest factors I've noticed include:
- Sleep - Not necessarily the amount of sleep I get, but the quality of sleep I get at night.
- Diet - less carbs during the times you need more energy. fruits and veggies. daily multi-vitamin.
- Fitness - exercise not overly, but regularly... I think your two times per week is okay.
- Positive thinking - I've noticed negative feelings and/or thoughts can deplete your energy levels and make you feel tired, or groggy.
- Wake-up time - believe it or not, I've noticed significant differences in my daily energy when I wake up early, as opposed to waking up at, near, and especially after noon--all despite how much sleep I got that night.
There's probably something I'm missing, but for the most part, those are the main things that affect my personal energy levels, and it may be the same for you as well. This is something I used to struggle with a lot so I have done a lot of observing and experimenting. While not conclusive, that is where I'm at so far with my personal research on this topic.
