How can you reduce fatigue?

     There are many things you can do to reduce the sense of fatigue you may feel throughout your day:

• Go for periodic walks throughout the week (i.e., three to five times weekly for a duration of 30 minutes each)
• Go to bed the same time every night and have a regular pre-bed routine (i.e., taking a bath)
• Avoid eating junk food
• Avoid drinking coffee within four hours of bedtime
• Avoid "energy" drinks (these cause an inevitable crash later on)
• Avoid drinking alcohol
• Avoid spicy foods for dinner (tends to cause heartburn when lying down to sleep)
• Eat fiber-rich foods (e.g., fruits and vegetables)
• Eat more omega-3 fatty foods (e.g., seafood, nuts, dark green leafy vegetables)
• Eat foods with plenty of vitamin-B (e.g., eggs, lean meats, dairy products)
• Drink plenty of water
• If taking a medication having drowsiness as a side-effect, talk to your doctor about switching to a non-drowsy medication instead
