Try an energy drink if your hearts ok. Our bodies crave vitamins. I like 5 hr.energy. No buzz and really helps.
Hi @A MyChronicPainTeam Member
All I can suggest is that 1st you might want to make sure there isn't a medical reason. Maybe get some blood work done to make sure you aren't low on something. Things that have helped me are..protein shakes and ginseng tea. When I first tried ginseng tea I noticed I was waking up more alert and felt like I got a good nights sleep. However, I discovered if you overdo it...it's kind of like having too much coffee. So if you do try it, I'd go slow and see how it affects you. Good luck, wish you all the best. Take care.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, are you on heavy medications? I take many medications that all have the side affects of sleepiness. Sometimes spreading them out over the day and not mixing them will help to not fall asleep in places where it is an embarrassment to wake up. But there is also the orrside of the coin to think about. When you wake up think about how comfortable you were around these people and what was gong on, that you were comfortable enough to take a nap... it works for m, hope it helps you. Don’t be sorry for anything you can not control!
I have used the 5 hr energy also with no adverse effects? Great idea!
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member yes ive had multiple blood checks, about 30 this year alone, nothing has ever come up low, im really stuck
