eating before a work out

However, my sessions start a 6 am, and the gym is about 15 minutes from my house. I would like to know what I should eat before working out, since from the time I get up to the time I get to the gym is only 30 minutes. I know I should eat something before, but I have noticed that when I eat, I feel tired and cannot perfom as well. Thank you
