Tired of being tired?

If you don't NEED coffee, don't get it. 

Sometimes with those awesome movies, and TV shows, making time to hang out with friends, or just finishing up work, it's hard to not feel tired all the time. Even though you've had a good nights rest, you wake up still sleepy and head over to the nearest coffee shop to grab a morning jolt. Plus, it's tough to keep up a daily coffee run, it all adds up! Opt for some tea if you like to have a morning drink, you can easily buy some of your favorite tea's and brew some up in the morning, and save yourself a few dollars.

A few reasons we get tired:

 Irregular sleeping schedule: waking up and going to bed at different times all the time can throw off our bodies. I've read that this type of sleep schedule can make our bodies think it's changing time zones, like when we travel and get jet lag. Solution: Try to get on a normal time schedule by waking up and going to bed at the same time.

Over-training yourself: We all love a good workout in the mornings or at night, it's a good pick me up and a way to feel confident and good about yourself. Raise that self-esteem! But, remember, if you over train, your body will go into a mode where it feels the need to survive. You'll be even more tired and will come to a stand still in your get fit routine. Solution: If you plan to workout, do it when you aren't already exhausted, workout when you're feeling good and awake.

Sugar: The wonderful product we all have a love-hate relationship with. The old tale of getting a sugar rush than crashing??? Really think about how sugar makes you tired...How much sugar is in everything we eat, that's why after eating a doughnut we get so exhausted, aside from the mass amount of carbs that were just inhaled. Solution: Try to stay away from foods and drinks that contain heavy amounts of sugar. You'll feel better and lose some of that weight...sounds kind of nice right? Stick to a whole foods, clean diet. Read the labels and be sure you're not buying foods masked in sugar.
