       Ask HN: Do you have a high level of energy throughout the day?
        
       If you have a consistent, high level of energy throughout the day,
       I'm interested in how you do it.  In the last 4 years, I've given
       up caffeine entirely, switched to a 60-70% raw food diet and
       started a consistent Kriya practice [0]. It's gotten me a lot
       closer to a high level of energy all day, but still not
       satisfactory.  What are you doing for this? Any tips to share?  0.

       | 
       | For example Ballmer's famous Developers Developers Developers
       | speech[0] is NOT my "high energy" and in fact if I ever had that
       | much "energy" I'd consider myself to be having an emotional
       | breakdown.
       | 
       | My "high energy" is: zero brain-fog, good mental acuity, and not
       | feeling sluggish. I've found light fasting to help with that
       | (e.g. only eating dinners). But it isn't really clear what you're
       | trying to achieve and or what success would look like.

       | What works for me:
       | 
       | 0. Accept that your energy and dopamine levels will slowly go
       | down throughout the day
       | 
       | 1. Get enough sleep
       | 
       | 2. Take a short nap or meditate (10-15m) after lunch to clear my
       | head.
       | 
       | 3. Exercise (even a little bit helps)
       | 
       | 4. Accept that you're not a robot and you will have worse days.
       | 
       | I'm oversimplifying here a bit but: historically humans worked in
       | cycles (one busy day followed by one slower day) and our current
       | approach is not sustainable.
