      I’d consult your doctor before adding certain vitamins to your routine if your not sure about possible drug interactions. But my medications make me pretty fatigued as well and vitamin D and magnesium have helped!

      Spicy food. Little jalapeno or hot salsa in your breakfast tacos will shake the sleepy

        @Swerve Vitamins can help with your overall energy as well. Any multi vitamin will work. I use gummies because they slap with dinosaur chicken nuggets.

          @Swerve I tend to eat a lot of spicy food lol. I'll have to plan the timing of my vitamins a bit better then if they might help wake me up

      Vitamins will help. Also, opening the curtains to let the sun in. I walk my dog first thing in the morning and the crisp morning air helps me wake up

      walking outside helps me a lot. so does steaming my face which surprised me bc i expected that to make me more sleepy but personally it gently wakes me up pretty well

      Hmm definitely a small breakfast and fruit juice, sunlight, and a good nights sleep if you can! (I’m a caffeine addict so I hope these work for you)

      I would say cook yourself something small then add in some veggies too however u like them cuz I believe they help ur brain work I haven’t tried it yet but will when I get my appetite back

      I shower in the morning to wake up. Just a regular shower. ( Most days)

      Mint herbal tea! It's strong enough to get me going in the morning at least. Honestly I've never been a coffee drinker so I'm not sure that would be a good substitute.

      I use cold water on my face, the colder the better If you have a job that requires sitting go for a jog or something once in a while, something to keep your body active

      Cold carbonated drinks like LaCroix help wake me up. I pair that with splashing cold water on my face or taking a cool/cold shower.
