So I just started training this week and it's virtual. From 9am to 6pm I'm pretty much staring at a screen all day and at the end of the day I feel tired AF and can't really concentrate on the homework. Coffee and energy drinks don't seem to be working. What do I do?

Workout and eat right, drinks lots of water.
^this is really the answer. Also I find that my attention grows as the urgency of the task increases. AKA training is boring, but it will get better
Type a WSO post out about how you hate the industry and how fucked it is to its core and then watch the silver bannanas roll in.
I found it so much harder to concentrate and stay awake in training than when I hit the desk / am getting bombarded with pls fixes. You’ll be fine when the adrenaline kicks in!
Smelling salts are the only way
run 10km fatboi
10km are for Euro cucks. 10 miles or bust.
9AM TO 6PM makes you tired. LOL
