Does sex give you energy the next morning?
Because everytime my parents have sex at night, I notice that my dad can get up real early in the morning to wash our two cars and mow the grass all day. And it's like he always has more energy than I do. He's close to 60 and I'm only 27. I mean, I should be having more energy than him at my age.
Why do I have more energy at night time?
Energy comes from thyroid hormones, cortisol and DHEA (from the adrenal glands), human growth hormone, testosterone in males and estradiol in females. Our hormones work together, so it is the mix that make you feel all the energy. When somebody has a lack of energy it is important for the health care giver to sort out the contribution of all the hormones and where the weakness may come from.In your case, where you said you were a night owl, I suspect that you live on extra cortisol and DHEA to get the evening energy. You need to watch that you get to bed at least at midnight, because between midnight and 3 AM your daily human growth hormone peak is produced, which is important for the energy for tomorrow. Many people are unaware of this and burn up tomorrow’s energy by celebrating late into the night.
Why do I have more energy at night but can't focus all day with my anxiety and depression?
This won’t be a resolution to your problem, but I’ll say it in the event it’s something you’ll want to avoid.During an average day I fight depression coupled with anxiety as a regular routine of existence. I go about the day trying to find something that’s useful to do, that needs done, and try my best to overcome the inertia to do whatever the thing is. Nothing appeals to me - not reading, not eating, not chores around the house. Anything I do is done by sheer will to get out of a chair or off the floor or sometimes even out of the bed to answer the call.Between 4 pm and as late as midnight I’m a different person. Several reasons for that: for one, I seem to react to the postprandial dip, though I don’t totally understand how that works. It’s something about the advent of evening and nightfall that changes my mental workings and I fall into a period of creativity, of excitement for a creative project, with mental energy and excitement.The negative aspect of this for me is that I sit in a recliner, writing my heart out, and drinking copious amounts of cheap wine. At my age I’m resigned to the idea that this pattern may contribute to an earlier death than I’d consider desirable, but the trade off is okay. Everyone has choices to make. Since I have no family that really gives a damn how I arrange my life, under what motives and circumstances, this is my decision and I stand by it in exchange for quality over quantity.But that time of night is “my time” when I feel better, more content, more “myself”, and free of any societal restrictions, inhibitions, whatever. My writing is uninhibited and, by the next day, sometimes outrageous, inventive, at the least surprising.And that’s what I have to say about that.
How long does it take to get energy from food?
No, though you are using energy from the night before on your morning hike. Your body stores about an hour's worth of muscle glycogen after you sleep, so when you wake up, in essence, you are using stored energy. Otherwise, doing much of anything in the morning would be very difficult (for some people, it is!) But eating gives you energy immediately. I always eat a very very small something (80-120 cals of carb) before I work out because if I don't I start zonking out in the middle of my workout (like where I really feel like I could collapse). Imagine that your metabolism is a fire. In the morning (just like if you were camping), it's either very cool or out. You need to add fuel to it to get it burning again. The minute you add fuel to it (calories), it starts burning again. If you add a ton of fuel to it, it takes time to burn it off -- in other words, if you eat a big breakfast, that fire will burn long enough to take you into the afternoon.
Whats in Hydrocodone that gives me so much energy?
I'm with you. When I was on Vics or Percs I had a dramatic increase in energy, even with the methadone I'm now on. I say it's because it does dull my pain & I can do things I could'nt before when the pain was unbearable. Stay on it it is not an adverse reaction that's why it was made. I do know people who it does knock out though, they are the ones who should cut back or stop completely or at least give it to me. Them may take 1 where I take 5 or six. I guess to that all of our metabolisms are different.
Why does masturbating give me an energy boost?
I’m not a guy or a doctor so I can’t answer the part about masturbating, except maybe it gives you a feeling of control since you apparently know of your wife’s cheating.I answer because I wanted to say if she has a disease, as in an STD, you need to make sure to use protection if you are still sexually active with her and/or others.If you are in an open marriage, I don’t think you would have referred to it as cheating. So, in this case, you need to talk to her, get counseling or see if you can work your problems out. If not, then get some self esteem and find someone who wants to be faithful to you as you do them.
Does meditation give you more energy throughout the day?
Meditation is not like an energy shot. To answer this let me explain how meditation works for me.There is one thing our mind doesn’t like doing - Nothing. It doesn’t like to just be and do nothing. It cannot take the brief period of silence, that it tries to be busy by doing whatever it can. It takes pleasure in multi tasking. If there is a small period of inactivity, we open our phone and start checking the social media updates. We allow so many inputs into our minds, from seeing things, hearing things, doing things and so on and our mind is busy crunching the information overload we give it.When this happens, our attention and hence our energy is split into all those activities. We think we are doing a lot of work, but actually our productivity is quite low, as we have split our efforts and not giving our best in each of those activities.When we meditate, we withdraw our attention from all those sensory inputs and focus it in our mind. If our mind goes back to being busy with thoughts, we pull it back to focus.If you have been practicing meditation consistently, in the end of mediation session, you can find yourself calmed down, there is a stillness and absolute focus. Our energy is not scattered over all the distractions we added to our lives. It’s focused and it can help us be more productive. Is that good enough for an entire day? Well, if you find your energy getting scattered all over, through the day, take a brief meditation break for 5 mins.
Why is it that I feel more energetic and active if I don't sleep at all?
My English literature teacher once told us about marathon runners while we were reading “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath. He said nearly all of the runner look happy while running and are still energetic adter the marathon. It is the work of hormones between the neurotransmitters. Normally it should’ve been pain hormone because come on running a marathon is hard BUT instead brain puts happiness hormone in there so that the pain the runner should feel vanished under endorphin, serotonin etc. He also mentioned that’s what happens when you don’t sleep at all.Your brain is trying to keep you awake all day because it’s a responsible little mom/dad who should take care of it’s child(body). And it creates hormones that makes you more energetic and even happy.As a person with depression even 12 hours sleep can’t give me energy but if I stay awake doing something like homework or project etc. I always have the most energetic AND happy day in weeks or months. But there’s a huge chance that you collapse at the end of the day. One time my father literally couldn’t wake me up, he was going to call 911 vut than I mumble something like “I haven’t slept on Sunday night” and he was like “Seriously?! You could’ve told me!!”Btw I am writing this with no sleep for 56 hours and feeling both abnormally energetic and on the edge of collapsing. Hope it helpsdon lose so much sleep tho
