I don’t, monster energy drink does lol honestly if I get 6 hours of sleep I’m ok which is pretty much exactly what I’ve been getting. Hard tho as the days are blending together and I only know it’s the weekend because I’m working in the office instead of a client

B12 drinks/shots in the butt, take magnesium citrate at night to help reduce stress and anxiety and boost mental cognition, small meals throughout the day instead of typical 3 meals a day cause eating makes me tired and groggy. Green or black tea and midday walks weather permitting

The first week or two is hard, for sure. I’ve found that once I got into the rhythm of going to the gym in the morning, I got way more energy out of it than I do out of the extra hour of sleep.

I make a point of leaving the office at the same time no matter what and working out for 1 hour (pre work out helps). I then can go home and work 3-4 more hours if necessary

That may not work for your office so i suggest morning workouts. No one can take the morning away from you like they can the night.

My pre-workout is fuzzy peach flavoured. So obvs that, and then a quick half hour or so of cardio in the morning, some kind of physical activity around 2, scatergories break around noon (there’s an excel file to play...) break around five to snack and discuss dinner options, eat at like 8, yeah
