Need Energy! Food help please.

So I've for the last two months started using the Clean living principals. I eat lots of veggies and fruits. Whole grains and Complex carbs. I'm eating really well but I'm finding I'm over my sugar every day and I'm still having a hard time sustaining my energy through the day. I have a weird schedule. I work 2nd shift so I don't have to put my 6 month old in child care. My husband works Third Shift. The baby is on my husbands sleep cycle and he sleeps from 10am -10pm. Finally sleeping through the night YAY!

The problem is I work 4pm to 1am and then I'm up until about 9 to 10am. To make it to work on time I have to get up no later then 2:30pm. So I'm averaging about 4-5 hours a day. I know its not enough but I've tried to put the baby on a different sleep schedule (8am - 8pm) and he just wont sleep as well and ends up getting sick every time I change his be time.

So my question to MFP friends is there any low sugar foods that will give me energy and help me survive on 4-5 hours of sleep?

As a side note some times little one will take naps in the morning around 2 am to 3 am so I usually get an extra hour on those days. And I do catch up on sleep during the weekends.
