Drink water: Drink water first thing in the morning. It provides the hydration that your body needs to kickstart the day. Dehydration leads to sleepiness and fatigue. Drinking water can stimulate organs and help you feel more awake. You can drink a glass of lukewarm water or add a few drops of lemon and cinnamon to it as well.

Protein: Make sure to eat your breakfast. Make your breakfast rich in proteins like eggs, chicken, nuts, paneer, and yoghurt. Proteins and whole grains take longer to convert into energy, making you feel full and satiated. This, in turn, will help you feel active and productive.
