Work seems to drain my energy

no i don't have a job but my answer for you my friend is maybe that you are bored of work and want something else to do, sometimes i will get like this too sleep for more then 8 hours a night then wake up and work on my computer for a few hours but then after at least 3 hours of working i start to yawn and feel tired but usually right after i log off i feel awakened and refreshed so your best bet is ask your boss for more work to do and see if that helps? not only that you will probably get a promotion if you keep asking for extra work ;)

If you get bored, that can very easily make you tired and suck your energy. When I have a lot to do and I like it, time just flies, even if it makes me tired, but when I'm bored I can get just as exhausted... Just from waiting for something to happen and waiting for a miracle that it will be suddenly many hours later... which of course rarely happen.

Work equals watts equals joules per second, equals energy per second. You have to get more carbohydrates for short term energy, and protein to keep focus in your diet. Plenty of nuts if your not allergic should help you a little, sugar of course (moderation needed) will certainly aid you to keep awake and energized, but of course everything I am mentioning are temporary and should not be abused. I also suggest having some song in your head to keep you going, you know those adrenaline pumping songs people use to motivate them to keep exercising and stuff. If your into rap music try "till I collapse" by Eminem, works in this boxing gym I use to work for after the warm up. Good luck!

I agree with the others that this job doesn't challenge you enough mentally, so you are bored. My very first job was in a dress store in a mall. My job was to help customers and straighten stock. I was in high school and it was a summer part-time job. The full-timers hated us because they blamed us for a loss of commissions. Sometimes there really was nothing left to do when there were no customers and all the stock was straight. Then we had to find ways to look like we were busy under the boss's watchful eyes. Since this was the only job you could get, as I remember, the advice to ask for more work might be a good solution. Just make sure when you ask that everything that is supposed to be done really has been done. If the boss thinks you are interested in more work, it just might give you the opportunity to learn more and maybe work up to a higher position as a buyer or assistant manager. I don't know what's available in terms of moving up.
