How to be energetic all the time Many people often lack energy and feel tired.If you are one of them，take the following suggestions to become an energetic person and make use of your full potential.
Manage your stress.If you are upset by emotions that result from stress，you will likely find that you have run out of energy. （1）To control your stress，consider talking things out with a close friend or perhaps consulting a psychiatrist.
Take a nap when it is possible.Although you might be busy every day，there is always some time to get a few minutes of shut-eye.（2）Don't sleep too long，or you might experience difficulty in falling asleep normally that night，which will throw off your whole sleep schedule.
（3）Foods that have too much sugar can lead to glucose fluctuations （血糖波动） which then cause energy levels to decrease.Many people suffer from low energy due to a lack of protein.For fast and effective energy change，you can eat a few handfuls of nuts.
Schedule your time in a practical，realistic manner.Being too busy can decrease your productivity and do harm to your mental health.So try to get one day of relaxation a week.（4）

C.Consider what you eat and drink.
D.Naps should be a maximum of 30 minutes.
