re: Is there any way to "get" more energy?

It's all about getting your body adjusted. My next to last semester of college, I took 18 hours of classes, with tue/their classes starting at 8, and Mwf classes starting at 9, got out of class around 2, clocked in at McDonald's from 3-9p, then went straight to my other job as an overnight stocker at JcPenney from 10-6. The only off day I had was Saturday. I was getting at most 4 hours of sleep a day during the week. And still partying hard on weekends

Same when I was on the pipeline. Work 12-14 hours, sometimes longer days, get off, hit the gym, grab some grub, and chase tail till the wee hours of the morning, get back in the room around 3 and back at work at 6:30
