- You’re not eating the right foods
Greasy, sugary foods do not give you the amount of energy needed to go about daily activities. Foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and protein are the best source of energy for the body. Caffeine may give you energy for a little but eventually your body will crash.
- You’re not sleeping enough
Everyone knows college students do not get enough sleep whether it is because of an important assignment or going out with friends. While not getting enough sleep some nights is okay, repeatedly skipping hours of sleep can really affect the body and mind. So after staying up late one night, try to sleep a little earlier for the next few nights.
- You are not exercising
Exercising gives you energy. When you exercise, you increase your blood flow. This helps deliver more oxygen throughout your body. This oxygen creates energy so the more oxygen being delivered throughout our bodies, the more energy created. Therefore, after a workout, you are likely to find that you feel much more energetic. Also, exercise releases endorphins in your body. Endorphins release a “feel good” sensation.
- You are too stressed
Too much stress affects your mental health. When your brain is on overload, all you want to do is sleep. Go for a walk or laugh with a friend to help clear your brain. Remember that more often than not everything works out and you will get everything done.
If you can’t relate to any of these reasons, it may be something else, such as low iron. Consult a doctor to find out what you can do.
