To feed, you may have to take energy from a variety of sources. I recommend nature because the energy in nature is neutral, so you don’t have to put energy into purifying it-and if you’re feeding in nature you won’t be wasting too much energy while there because you’ll be relaxing! Camping would be particularly helpful because you’d get energy from the plants, your fire pit or barbeque, any weather conditions that come about, and the moon.
If you're cold or hot [but not exposed to direct sunlight], combat the temperature the way humans do.
vampires tend to keep their homes the same temperature all the time, and that temperature is typically in-between hot and cold. Those that lean their temperature at home a little more towards warmth, tend to also imbue the home with humidity [air with water vapors in it]. To humidify a room, boil water, hang a line of damp laundry [squeeze out the dripping water first], and keeping houseplants [the bigger the better]. Vampires that lean their home's temperature a little more towards the cold, tend to also imbue the home with dampness [which, ironically, is dry air]. To dehumidify [induce dampness], light candles [I suggest making your own because a lot of scented candles contain parabins] or burn champa [incense made from the resin, halmaddi, of the ailanthus malabarica tree] incense [make these yourself too, or make sure you get ones without harmful chemicals].
Vampires tend to not mind white because, I hypothesize, that it's not a particular color so it doesn't have all of its energy in one place, thus not giving off too much energy.
Vampires tend to like black because it doesn't give off energy, being that it's not a color.
Vampires typically don't like to be struck with high energy in the form of sunlight or bright colors [other than white] because, I hypothesize, it's difficult to dumb down the affect of a strong energy source that stays just as strong all the time.
Flashing lights [such as fluorescent lights] blare strong energy strikes each time the light flashes.
The flickering of fire doesn't bother vampires because it's weaker energy or because the energy in nature is neutral.
Vampires are affected by energy strikes because when a vampire has too much energy, the balance of energies [stored in the chakras??] gets thrown off, short-circuiting him/her.
So, when outdoors, try to wear white or a less potent shade like antiqued-white [sunlight is absorbed the least into white, and absorbed the most into black]; when indoors, wear black [or gray] or white and try to keep your home in that color scheme; use candles [that you make yourself or that you know are free of chemicals] and a fireplace or a wood-burning stove to provide lighting; and keep your windows covered with thick curtains to keep out sunlight.
To stay awake during the day time, make sure you get sleep during the night time. I recommend 12 hours if you can. I know that must sound like you'd have no time for fun after work or school, but if you're energized during the day, you'll have more fun at work/school and decrease your chances of getting sick [colds, flus, etc. attack weak immune systems] from co-workers/classmates.
To help you fall asleep, listen to the sounds of nature, drink a tea with camomile and rosewater and rosehips, holding onto something with familiar memories and familiar energies [your spouse, a stuffed animal even if it's new, a small dog, etc.], listen to the hum of the breathing of someone sleeping next to you or of a pet [don't listen to your own because that will make you tired when you're trying to meditate and whatnot], burn a scent of scented candle or incense that you are only going to burn when you want to sleep [make the candles and incense yourself or make sure they don't have harmful chemicals], repeat positive affirmations [such as "I am a strong energy worker" if you want to be better at energy work] out-loud or in your head [they're more affective out-loud], or visualizing yourself succeeding at something you want to be better at in as much detail possible and feeling the environment [the cold floor, the excitement, the sip of lukewarm water, the feeling of accomplishment, etc.] as thoroughly as possible and do the visualization over and over until you fall asleep.
You might want to try sleeping in a confined space because you might feel safer [and so, more relaxed] knowing that you control the conditions within your confined space: you notice if anyone or anything enters it and you are in control of the energy in your confined space if someone/something does enter. Your confined space can be an enclosed bed [such as a coffin, a tent, a bed with curtains on all sides, or a bed with a "mosquito net canopy"], sleeping in a closet, or an ordinary living space that you transform into an enclosed space [for example, putting a sleeping bag in the corner of a room and blocking the area from the rest of the room by putting up a bamboo curtain at night that is stored away during the day].
You could also try exercising [releases endorphins], astral projecting to your blood source and taking the blood psychically through creative visualization, dreamwalking to your blood source and taking the blood psychically through creative visualization, or taking a nap [giving your body some time to rejouvenate].
Whatever you do, don't drink animal blood or eat bloody meat. You'll get sick and it won't do you any good anyhow. You drink the lifeforce energy in blood, and you don't find that in animal blood, or at least not a kind that's satisfying to you.
Have a friend put you under past-life regression until you find potential reason that you're anxious around blood. I was tortured in my most recent past-life for being a vampire, and learning that made me a little stronger against blood because it provided closure.
