I ...Hi Terri, sorry to hear of your energy crisis. I have that trouble sometimes too. Sometimes I take a nap, but not often. A walk around the block does help me to kind of clear the cobwebs and get refreshed.<BR/><BR/>Other things that work for me, a cup of green tea but not with caffeine, wash my face with a cool cloth, put on some lotion or cologne with a fresh clean smell, or suck on a peppermint candy. These things seem to perk me up somehow.<BR/><BR/>Hope things are going better for you by now. (Sorry I'm so late at getting around to comment.)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498301897526884795.post-33871204949867220202009-04-10T13:22:00.000-04:002009-04-10T13:22:00.000-04:00When you just can't take naps, Bananas and Emergen...When you just can't take naps, Bananas and Emergen C drink mix both work well.

But for whatever it's worth: I actually do try to take a nap, but either keep it at 20 minutes or go for a full sleep "cycle" and do 90 minutes. Soda or coffee, but it's really the "messing with it" that helps more than the caffeine. Take a walk. Do something completely different for a timed period.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I find yelling at the TV for awhile tends to be quite energizing. Just find a program with some idiot discussing government policy. Not hard to find; there are no idiot shortages on TV.Donnellhttp://www.pstcc.edu/facstaff/dking/blog/noreply@blogger.com
