7 Keep some peppermint oil handy
You might think essential oils are BS, but some of them are actually research-backed. “Peppermint is that essential oil that you need on the nightstand,” says Isaac Jones, DC, a functional nutrition expert and chiropractor. “Whether you were out too late with friends or you were up rocking a teething baby, peppermint will do the trick when you need to wake up and get going. It will also boost your performance throughout the day. A study in the Journal of Phytomedicine showed significant improvement in athletic performance when subjects were given peppermint oil.”
