A cold shower sends impulses to the brain that create clarity, alertness, and provide energy. Even if you take a warm shower, turn the water cold for about 30 seconds just before you hop out. Endorphins will be sent to the brain which leads to feelings of optimism. Consider exercising before your cold shower, to make it less intense.

2. Exercise

Many actually think that exercise would tire you out, except it's the exact opposite. Even light exercise, such as walking or yoga, can considerably raise energy levels. Try taking a break in your day to fit in some physical activity.

Night Routine Checklist

Night Routine Checklist: Having certain steps each night is important to unwind and relax for a good night of rest. The following tips should help lead you to a better night of sleep and relaxation: Stay away from unhealthy snacks At night it's not very healthy to eat treats and desserts, they'll leave you feeling bloated and too full. Try to stop eating a few hours before you prepare to sleep in order to feel more comfortable. Turn off phone The Bluelight that emits from your phone can disturb your sleep at night. Try your best to stay away from screens at least one hour before you close your eyes. Write a to-do list The worst feeling is being in a rush for the morning.
