Now you are awake and making it through the day, until 3:00 and the afternoon lull rolls around. Your eyes get droopy and you are suddenly overcome with brain fog and a complete lack of motivation. Maybe you opt for another coffee or another caffeinated beverage. You make it through the day, only to repeat the cycle again.

Are you ready for a change? Ready to kick coffee to the curb? Well maybe not that extreme. Chances are you probably already know what to do. We have all heard go to bed earlier and at the same time, turn off electronics close to your bedtime, avoid caffeine after the morning hours, and the list goes on. Maybe you have tried these to no avail or maybe you simply have not put these tricks into practice. Be real with yourself and reflect. Is your tiredness from lifestyle or do you have a serious condition?

The most important area to asses when it comes to sleep deprivation is the source. How do you find the root cause of your problem? Imagine waking up refreshed, feeling alert all day long. Would your life change? What about your relationships and productivity? Speaking from experience, you may not realize what being sleep deprived is doing to your mental and physical health until you know what it feels like to be rested.

Unless you completely detached yourself from the modern world and escaped to some remote island, you will experience fatigue. Going through the entire day ready to run laps around the office is probably not going to be the norm. However there are steps you can take today, or should I say tonight to make your daytime experience more manageable and enjoyable.
