If you find you have a hard time feeling energized at the start of
your writing session, it can be useful to consider some natural stimulants.
Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) is better for this purpose than American ginseng. Studies have shown it increases cognitive performance and lowers blood sugar. Experiments are going on now using it as a treatment for ADD.
Naturally you shouldn’t make any stimulant a substitute for getting enough sleep and rest, and this is not medical advice—if in doubt, consult your doctor, especially if you have high blood pressure.
