Nuff Said - satx, on 11/04/2007, -5/+3311. Cocaine
- deviouskoopa, on 11/04/2007, -1/+25Good article, thank you. I have effectively increased my energy level to over 9000.
- steveguy, on 11/03/2007, -0/+16Take in the Ki of someone next to you with a good solid punch.
- Jomwilli, on 11/04/2007, -0/+15Thank you for that.
- DangerStepp, on 11/04/2007, -2/+16I don't know so much about this list. Saying 'thank you' 50 times a day? I'm pretty sure that would wear me out. What about you?
- blackbelt88, on 11/05/2007, -0/+14Over NINE THOUSAND!!!
- iamsamed, on 11/04/2007, -0/+12Thank you.
Now thank me for thanking you and we'll get into this recursive loop and have unlimited energy! - inactive, on 11/04/2007, -1/+1212. Train in an environment where the gravity is 1000 times that of Earth!!
- capiCrimm, on 11/03/2007, -0/+10then you're already a gooey flesh-ball. Really, it's a no win situation.
- fdw2006, on 11/04/2007, -1/+11#8 is the only thing that I hesitated on. When I eat a large lunch I am tired as hell 30 minutes later. I suppose that has to do a lot with my food choice though. Hmm...Chipotle or Energy?
- Jomwilli, on 11/04/2007, -0/+8I would like to add, remove sugary foods and drinks from your diet. A soda will pick you up, but you'll be crashing for hours later. That office cake for somebody who just had a birthday or whatever, all that icing will put you in the old sugar coma in your cube.
Sugar, the sleepy drug. - Ajjah, on 11/02/2007, -0/+813 - Dont stay up until 2 am playing WoW
- noctu, on 11/02/2007, -1/+86. Spend One Day a Month In Complete Silence.
With all that modern culture throws at us, spending one day a month in complete silence (and even solitude) is a wonderful practice to increase productivity and energy levels over the long-haul. Why? Because the little voice in your head never stops, and cultivating the ability to quiet this chatterbox, even for a little while, can do wonders for your perspective and ability to get things done! Try this one time and see how you feel.
see us introverted types had it right! - Arcesius, on 11/04/2007, -1/+8you're welcome....
dammit!! - capiCrimm, on 11/03/2007, -1/+7unless your a squid-human hybrid, you're just going to end up a gooey flesh-ball.
- cphelps, on 11/02/2007, -0/+6Ditto. When you eat a large meal your body is at a much higher blood glucose level, which is believed to switch off cells that keep you awake. Here's and article talking a little about it.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9272-why-we- ... - rayraym0fucka, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5Does everything have to revolve around Bush?
- McTim, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5Has anyone tried this Hemi-Sync stuff?
- Tyr7BE, on 11/03/2007, -0/+5...and if you ARE a squid-human hybrid?
- ColonelJessup, on 11/04/2007, -2/+6I have been doing number 6 for 4 years..........................I haven't really noticed an increase in energy levels, just moodiness, lack of friends, sensitivity to sunlight, friction burns on my penis from extremely excessive masturbation, and fits of uncontrollable crying.
- Tyr7BE, on 11/04/2007, -0/+4What, the sound waves thing? I tried I-Doser ( http://www.i-doser.com ) several times and I got absolutely nothing out of it. I'm convinced it's a sham, or at least that the people developing it are so caught up in their work that they've convinced themselves that it's real. I tried it, as did a few of my friends, all of us with high quality headphones in situations that the website recommends, and all of us agreed that we got nothing.
- bubbadoo989, on 11/04/2007, -2/+6Not quite the definitive top 10 list on this topic.
Yes, the writer covers the basics (ie., get a good night's sleep, eat a diet of fish and green leafy's, exercise), but he never explains why these things are important. Besides, the brain is not 'fat' weight and the whole premise is ludicrous. The brain does have a 'fatty cap', that it is the top of the brain has a protective layer of fat.
Fish is incredibly good for the brain due to it's high content of choline; this is converted to acetyl-choline in the brain and used to fuel the cholinergic cycle in the brain. You want to have an expansive memory and quick wits, eat more fish. Simple as that.
Why don't supplements help all that much? They will help you somewhat, but most supplements are from phosphatidal choline, which needs to be converted to acetyl-choline in the brain. You may be wasting your money on bottled choline (besides, it's from fish anyway).
Basically, the brain is healthy when you're healthy. Things like coffee, smoking, drugs and environmental hazards (pollution, noise, etc.) deplete neurotransmitters. Eating well, adequate sleep and exercise allow the body to replenish it's supply of NE.
BTW, this is just some stuff I remember from school... - norman619, on 11/02/2007, -1/+4How about some speed? It's pretty damn effective at raising your energy levels.
- peaceofwar, on 11/04/2007, -0/+3sweet soon i will go SSJ1
- ontain, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3they don't call it food coma for nothing.
- sdcarter, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3mmm... steak fajita burrito. Maybe that choice right there says a lot about why I'm a fatty.
- catch-22, on 11/02/2007, -2/+5And if that's too difficult, drink coffee.
- Firehed, on 11/04/2007, -0/+3You don't need to do all fifty at once. With regular human interaction, it's not that much (at least if you're polite).
- Tyr7BE, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3Playing a lot of Ninja Gaiden, are we?
- boredsam, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3If you've ever lived with a woman, you learn it's good to spend one day a month in silence/solitude.
- lioneljaffry, on 11/04/2007, -1/+4They missed out "take massive amount of amphetamine".
- inactive, on 11/04/2007, -0/+3It says to eat "Your Bigger Meal" at lunch. I think it's trying to say that your mid day meal should be the largest of your meals, not that you should increase the mid day meal size. It's a subtle difference. Most people tend to eat their largest meal at night when their metabolism is slowing down rather than at mid-day when your metabolism is in high gear.
- maxyRO, on 11/04/2007, -0/+3What gets me going are my favorite tunes in my mp3 player, when I go to work. But nothing relaxing, energy music
- FrederikNS, on 11/02/2007, -1/+4Coffee? Espresso?
- Charlotte_Web, on 11/02/2007, -1/+3Dugg down, reported, and blocked.
Aren't you lucky... - Tallfriend17, on 11/03/2007, -0/+2I wonder if there is a way to get mine OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -1/+3If you thank yourself do you still increase your "energy" level? Or is that a violation of the First Law Of Thermodynamics?
- Encablossa, on 11/04/2007, -0/+2You can stop now
- echolyean, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2Well, not that we "had it right" - but that's the difference between an introvert and extrovert: how one recharges. An extrovert is energized when being active, surrounded by people, in a group, etc. Introverts, such as you and I, usually find that extremely draining on our energy levels whereas taking some time for silence and solitude really helps recharge the batteries, so to speak.

- mahdaeng, on 11/04/2007, -0/+2Are you trying to tell me that "fathead" doesn't mean "stupid" anymore?
:^) - mahdaeng, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2you.energyLevel++;
- Arcesius, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2I dunno... I think there might be something to say about that silence thing... or the sleeping in the dark... and that gratitude one is pretty interesting, too..
- flangle, on 11/02/2007, -1/+3Ladies and Gentlemen. The Final Arbiter! Thank you for playing.
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2thank you
- NJank, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2I believe it has something to do with the carb / protein ratio in the meal. Playing the insulin rush control game and all. I always heard it called a 'carbo coma'.
- souljaboytellem, on 11/02/2007, -2/+4Makes you feel better about yourself though
