  1. Pace yourself: Keep going, but don’t overdo it. Instead of burning all your energy in two hours, spread out the work as morning tasks, afternoon tasks, and evening tasks; take rest and meals in between.
  2. A walk or a nap: If you have trouble sleeping at night, taking a nap during the day can worsen insomnia. In such a case, get moving. Walk around the neighborhood, or just move around the house. If you do not have insomnia, you can enjoy a 20- to 30-minute nap.
  3. Skip supplements: There is a lack of evidence that they work. 
  • DHEA: There is a lack of convincing evidence that DHEA is actually beneficial.
  • Iron: Iron improves energy only when one is clearly deficient.
  • B vitamins: B vitamins can help the body convert food into the form of energy that cells can burn, but taking more B vitamins has no role in supercharging the cells.

4. Eat wisely: A sugary roll is loaded with calories, but your body metabolizes them faster, and eventually you have decreasing blood sugar and fatigue. A steady energy level can be maintained by eating lean protein and unrefined carbohydrates. You can go for low–fat yogurt with nuts, raisins, and honey. (Harvard)
