tired, hungry and cranky

Dear LJ,

when you're low on resources, tired and hungry, do you have little tricks to keep your head level and to keep going?

I like to keep some emergency nuts around. In general, I will agree with everyone here that keeping a snack that works for you so that when you're hungry and low blood sugar you can eat something healthy that will make you feel better rather than junk that will make you crash can help immensely.

Nuts are a great emergency snack because they keep for a long time, they're not carbohydrate-based (no sugar crash, longer-lasting effects, though a delay to kick in), and they're better for you than most other snack foods. Plus, they usually have a decent dose of salt to make up for what you're sweating out playing drums.
