All I can do is get up early accomplish some things eat breakfast, take meds and vitamens,take care of my pets, get son on bus for school.I usually then take a short nap-set alarm, get up eat lunch do some laundry, more phone calls. Then I lay down again in pm set alarm a take another nap so I can see my son watch a little tv and try to go to bed early.Last night up late up early am on this website and am nap will be earlier

Here's my list. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

- Sleep at least 8 hours per night and not more then 10
- Take amphetamine salts as needed - both short acting and long acting depending on situation to avoid crashes
- Improve sleep by taking melatonin and tizantadine at night
- exercise in short bouts of about 15 minutes
- Don't sit for more then 45 minutes at a time
- Drink way too much coffee
- Take B vitamins
- Take D vitamins
- stretch as often as possible

I agree with all comments. I've found that I'm best in the mornings but crash quickly after getting kids to school. I handle the outstanding must be done household chores- swapping laundry, putting laundry away and then rest awhile.. Then I do issues that I can manage and rest awhile before picking the kids up !

It's all about learning to pace yourself... do stuff but don't stay down for long-- It takes awhile to figure out your pace/pattern but once you do, things improve

Thanks for the adding to the topic. I'll have to try some of these. I guess I also need to stop hitting the snooze button in the morning.
