Try getting some choline, a great natural source is eggs. Also check your multi-vitamin or B vitamin and make sure there's choline in there. And as always exercise and eat a low glycemic diet, avoiding sugars regardless of carb %.

As a parent, I think this is the new norm for me (at least until kids are older).

Outside of clinical diagnosis (for depression or some metabolic disorder), I think most of us can clear this up through diet, exercise, and not having a TV (or iPhone) in bed.

Keep fairly active, keep mentally engaged, exercise, talk to people (even yr spouse if necessary); reasonably medicate for chronic or otherwise depression; get outside; do chores; eat healthy; take a 50+ vitamin pill each day; make positive choices. Am thankful for the many 'small' things in life which are often taken for granted. Read success stories and testimonies from people who are much 'worse' off, get some degree of inspiration from them.

Just make sure there isn't a medical condition causing it vs. having teenage kids. One thing for men is clinically super low testosterone which also causes the loss of muscle mass. That needs to be addressed vs. wanting it to boost your midlife crisis result. Oncoming diabetes, tapeworm, and a bunch of other things can cause low energy and exhaustion. So check into it.

Get started on the day with that coffee pickup, not only does it wake Me up but without it I'm not that fit to be around other Humans or animals After coffee I have that energy and am now safe to be around.

This is more dangerous than you know, especially if it is undiagnosed Sleep Apnea. We had two very severe train crashes in the Northeast with casualties because of undiagnosed Sleep Apnea. You an pass out from that at any minute without warning and just wake up later not knowing what happened. Very dangerous if your driving a car, train or even flying an airplane. Some of the symptoms of sleep apnea are low energy, need to take more than one nap, getting up frequently during the night to use the latrine. In a lot of cases sleep apnea can be eliminated by just losing weight and getting in some form physical shape..........so it doesn't always mean a CPAP machine.

I was having problems with that and some other things. MY doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and once my thyroid numbers came into the normal range and my D3 levels improved, my energy levels went up.
