...is a real downer.
I hate that time of the afternoon, usually around 3.30 to 4.30 for me, when my energy just wanes to nothing. It's the busiest time of the afternoon, picking kids up from school, homework, getting dinner started, all that stuff...but some afternoons I really struggle to stay alert.
So aside from reaching for coffee or coke, cos if I drink that late in the arvo I'll be up all night...or chocolate which is just a quick sugar rush then a crash...what are your hints for the afternoon slump?
Just a bit of background info...I get up at 6am, I eat heaps of fruit and vegetables and wholegrain foods, brown rice, all that kind of stuff, usually have a sandwhich and fruit for lunch, and as talked about in the other thread, I do get on the treadmill everyday. I'm not doing anything new or different. But srsly, I could just about go to bed and curl up for hours and hours. Which obviously i can't.
