The best way to prevent the feeling of low energy is to get proper sleep at night. If you cannot do that, work during the daytime will be hard for you to focus on when your eyelids are sagging.
An energy drink, cup of coffee or tea, or a candy bar can look like a lifesaver in this situation, and however, after their effects wear off, you will feel even more drained.
Luckily there are some quick ways to boost your energy levels and feel fresh during the day:
Don’t skip breakfast. People who are used to eating breakfast every morning have a lesser chance of being stressed or tired than people who skip this important meal. Hunger leads to a feeling of low energy, so it’s better to stick to high-fiber foods during breakfast.
Yoga with proper breathing techniques can be a great way to get rid of sleepiness and uplift your energy level.
Drink more glasses of water. Dehydration can result in an exhausted and drained body. You do not need to drink eight glasses of water a day necessarily. Just take enough water to keep yourself hydrated. If your urine is light-colored and you don’t feel thirsty, then you are well hydrated. The walk to the cooler or fridge for a refill will also help you to stay awake.
Eat high folate foods (folic acid) and magnesium, such as peanuts and almonds. They will be helpful in energy and cell production. The deficiency of these nutrients in your body can make you exhausted.

Few people claim that just a whiff of a cinnamon stick can make you more alert by reducing fatigue. If you don’t have one, then you can go for a piece of mint. The sweet aroma of peppermint can bring energy to your system.
Do some light exercise. Light jogging or just even walking is good for making you more energetic. Exercise naturally boosts your energy as blood rich with oxygen surges your brain, muscles, and heart. Even if you spare 15 minutes a day for regular exercise, it is enough. You can even do so by walking with your mobile phone to keep energy levels at their peak.
To become more energetic and enhance your memory and mood, you can walk outside on a clear, warm day. If you can’t go out due to a strict routine, the least you can do is get some sunshine through the windows.
Eat something healthy. You will start feeling low on energy as soon as your blood sugar level drops. Eat a snack to last during the day if you think your head starts to drop.
Hanging out with your close friends can also be a great source of energy. This time will help you get rid of all the negative energy limiting you from doing something productive.
