sleepy..

[Russ]

lately i cant seem to stay awake long, and my practices have gone from hours to half hours. any tips on getting jazzed up, energized, or just being more awake? im always tired and wonder if its a medical condition

[mcramer]

Are any of these symptoms present also?
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Irritability
Blurry vision

[bongobro]

mcramer, you're describing the classic symptoms of adult-onset diabetes...and that's one of many possibilities...but I'm not a doctor, and I've never played one on the radio!


Seriously, Russ, have you talked with your physician about it? It could be diabetes, but it could also be any number of other things...so have a checkup to rule them out. If it's merely boredom, try something different (practice to a different recording or try a different song)...

Hope this helps, man...

Heavy exercise.

[xweasel]

Energy drinks.

Russ, the fact that you are having trouble staying awake would suggest that a check-up is in order just to rule out anything more serious than boredom. Check it out, and then see Drummer's post to spice things up.

There has been a good case of mono floating around up here could be that among other things

[Greenmonster206]

5 Hour Energy!!!

[Russ]

i think ill check out some energy drinks, that should fix the problem i hope

[oaktree137]

in that case, i think you should take 5-hour-energy or something like greenmonster said just cause compared to energy drinks like monster and amp and redbull its not as bad for you and doesn't crash you when it wears off... its a cleaner/more efficient choice i believe

[xweasel]

Red Bull would be the wise choice. It's not too sweet (Monster is waaaay to sweet and perfumey tasting for me).

[Russ]

i think i just need some excitement

[TURTLINATOR]

Listen to some eighties pop power ballads! I don't know why but that always gets me nice and jazzed up.
