Not much. I seem to go in cycles. I had 3 weeks where I slept great, and now 2 weeks where I feel dead when I wake up.

I drink endorush at @ 6pm... before dance class- but if I really push myself in the class- it doesn't even hold a candle to keeping me away. I'm zonked! But it gives me the energy I need during class.

I've actually been considering the reality that I might be undereating fats.
