What to Eat When You're Exhausted (and Need to Wake Up Fast) Follow this eating plan with healthy choices that will perk you up, not make you crash. Eating every 3-4 hours can help you maintain stable energy. Aim for a combo of protein and complex carbs with some healthy fats to lend some staying power. Step away from the cupcake. You might get a short-lived buzz from the sugar, but you'll crash soon after. Go easy on caffeine. Have a small cup in the morning and one mid-morning or around lunchtime if you're dragging, but cut yourself off after 2 pm. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink water like it's your side-hustle, and add lemon or lime slices for flavor.
