Complementing @[email protected] 's comment, here is mine I shared few days ago on a post about lunchtime sluggishness. I got fuckin tired of it over the past 2-3 years, and researched and devised a solution.

The combination of:

getting (half)naked sunbath for 30 minutes twice a week
exercising
proper sleep with unbroken 90-100 minute cycle phases (not waking up between a cycle, no erratic shitty alarms)
no nocturnal peeing (do not overload with water before sleeping, pee before you sleep)

is the ultimate formula to a healthy, active and long lasting life.

Add a 10-15 minute power nap during midday/early evening and you are golden.

Also, use a proper alarm clock, not the shitty ones you have, or the builtin alarm on your phones. Even if you have an iPhone, get yourself the cheapest Android phone, buy and install Gentle Wakeup alarm app on your phone, changes your life for $5. Made by a doctor, it is THE alarm clock everyone should use.

Why the gentle alarm thing?
