Brain Fog and Tired All the Time? (5 Quick Fixes)

Essential Oils

Best essential oils for brain fog and tiredness:

🔹 Rosemary - boosts memory and alertness
🔹 Peppermint - fights fatigue, speeds reaction time
🔹 Lavender - calms stress that drains mental energy
🔹 Lemon - uplifts mood and clears mental fog

Use them in a diffuser, dab a little on your wrist, or just inhale straight from the bottle before studying or working.

Nootropics

Nootropics are basically brain supplements.

They’re natural compounds that help your brain work better, sharper focus, better memory, more energy etc.

Best nootropics for brain fog and tiredness:

🔸 Citicoline - boosts mental energy by powering up brain cells
🔸 Lion’s Mane Mushroom - supports nerve growth and long-term brain health
🔸 Bacopa Monnieri - improves memory and reduces mental fatigue
🔸 Rhodiola Rosea - fights stress and keeps energy stable

Instead of buying each nootropic separately, Mind Lab Pro combines them all in one capsule, making it simpler, more affordable, and more effective.

Hydrate

Even mild dehydration = instant brain fog.

Your brain is 75% water, so when you’re low, thinking slows down.

🔹 Aim for around 2 liters a day
🔹 Keep a bottle at your desk as a reminder
🔹 Add a pinch of sea salt or electrolytes if you’re sweating a lot

Most people who feel “tired all the time” are just running on low fluids. Drink up, your brain will thank you.

Omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA + EPA) are brain fuel.

They keep cell membranes flexible so your neurons can fire fast.

Low levels = slower thinking, poor focus, and constant tiredness.

🔹 Supports memory and mental clarity
🔹 Balances mood and energy
🔹 Protects long-term brain health

Most diets are way too high in Omega-6 and too low in Omega-3. That imbalance alone can cause brain fog.

You can eat more fatty fish, but if you want the cleanest option, Performance Lab® Omega-3 is made from algae (the original source).

Just 3 softgels a day is enough DHA + EPA to keep your brain sharp.

Sleep + Morning Light

No supplement beats bad sleep. If your circadian rhythm is off, brain fog is guaranteed.

🔹 Aim for 7-9 hours of real sleep (not scrolling in bed)
🔹 Get morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking, it resets your body clock
🔹 Keep your room cool and dark at night for deeper rest

When your sleep-wake cycle is fixed, energy feels natural again. No more constant tiredness.

If you’re struggling with sleep, try PerformanceLab Sleep, it’s a natural blend with tart cherry (low-dose melatonin), magnesium, and L-Tryptophan that helps you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed.
