Yeah there's tons of shit I could tell you - Eat right, Exercise, but you know you should be doing them. Here's the stuff I didn't think would work until I did it!

1 Cold Showers

A year ago, the idea of taking a cold shower would make me roll my eyes. Why would you do that if you can have warm water? I'm no caveman. Then I watched this video and stepped into the light

I started by making the end of my shower cold, and realized I was much more awake afterwards. After that baby step, I graduated to ALWAYS take a cold or lukewarm shower.

2 Eat Less

I read in a self-help book, (Tim Ferriss) that many successful people had "Skipping Breakfast" in common - along with working out in the morning, and several other attributes. Don't get me wrong, Biscuits and Gravy is one of my favorites, but working around that feeling you need to nap after a hearty meal is enough to make me slow down.

Eating less wasn't particularly my decision, being broke also fostered that decision, but it's good to show everyone what you're doing by mistake is what they should be doing on purpose.
Link with Science facts instead of my rambling

3 Sleep Less

Whoa. I've been notorious for laying in bed until the late evening. This was interesting. Since those days I've gotten into a habit of waking up at 7am, work, then not going to bed until midnight, or 1 am (usually after a beer or 3).

Surprisingly, being less of a lazy ass has made me feel more awake than I did when I would take a nap after I had woke up because I felt like it.

Here's a video by some guy that I just Googled to back up my point
