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. 

    3. Eat for energy

Hunger can actually lead to fatigue throughout the day. Make sure to eat breakfast and healthy foods. Oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, and green tea have been proven to increase energy. Make a good choice for your body when you feel drained.

Being dehydrated can be a huge contender in your fatigue. Try to drink a glass of water when you feel tired and keep up with your body. When you feel thirsty, take a drink. The 8 cups a day rule should prevent being tired from dehydration. 

    5. Music
