That's Fit

Who isn't tired these days? I must read something about fatigue and energy on an almost daily basis, and although I have been better lately about getting enough sleep there are still those days where it just doesn't seem like it was enough.

But I found this article that touts itself as "a fool-proof plan" to fight fatigue and have more energy. Much of it is good sound advice that we've all heard before, like getting up at the same time each day and limiting carb intake. But a few things did surprise me, one of which was the advice to skip the coffee first thing in the morning, and instead have it later in the day -- like in the afternoon, when you really need it. Apparently caffiene works by blocking a sleep inducing chemical called adenosine that builds up as the day goes on, and by the time you hit your afternoon slump whatever java you had that morning has completely worn off.

So, thinking about this I don't think I can skip the morning cup, no way. But I can always add in an afternoon one!
