Who wants energy? You know the term "bright eyed and bushy tailed?" You know what that is? It's a squirrel on crack! And nobody wants to be a squirrel let alone one on crack.

Ok, enough with the funny stuff. Green tea is great for energy, but get the caffeinated kind not the decaf.

The shower idea is good. I take a really hot shower and switch it over to cold right before I get out. Wakes me up and keeps me from sweating after I shower as my body has an easier time cooling itself down.

Make sure your breakfast is high in protein. Eggs, meat, etc. are all good even if only as a side dish. Avoid sugary foods like certain cereals (Anything that sounds like "Sugar Coated Chocolate Coco Flakes with Sprinkles" is a bad idea.) Or pancakes and waffles with lots of syrup. When was the last time you ate a big plate of waffles covered with syrup and left the table energetic? I feel like going back to bed after that kind of breakfast.
