Go take a walk. It works.

Is that a question or a statement?

How about going to bed earlier (or sometimes it helps going to bed later). For instance my father normally works from 09:00 to ~03:30, if he sleeps for more than ~6 hours he wakes up more often than not in a bad mood. If he goes to bed at 00:00 he will often wake up at ~7 and be very active in the morning and afternoon but he slows down a bit in the afternoon. It all depends on what you're habits are and whether your body agrees with it. I find that if I go to sleep at 11-12 I don't sleep well, but if I go to bed earlier or later I sleep well and am refreshed throughout the day. Of course being outdoors during the day helps quite a bit. Maybe if you feel tired during work you're not finding the work challenging enough, or dare I say it, boring :rolleyes:

Maybe you're eating too much carbs, protein or fat, and giving your body a hard time digesting all that: this makes your body slower. Reduce the ammount you're eating on lunch, and add a bit more raw salad. Avoid things like lettuce and passion fruit that are known to make you sleepy. If you don't do it yet, end the lunch with a fruit. Reduce your lunch and add a snack or a light sandwich 3 hours later. If you're already doing this, or after doing this for 5 days, you don't feel better, go see a doctor...

Apparently it's cos it takes so much of the body's energy to digest the food you've just eaten, that it makes it a "High Priority Task", and evertything else gets switched to a lower priority thread "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"

Because you eat too much, and too many carbs, which are rapidly digested and create a sugar rush and then the body overcompensates and you end up with no energy. Instead, eat a smaller, more balanced meal of protein, carbs, and fat. And do a little physical activity too. Walk around to block (of course, the block around my house a 2.5 mile walk).

"The wild predecessor of our modern lettuce, Lactuca serriola, can still be seen all over Europe and the more temperate parts of Asia. It is likely that it originated on the Mediterranean rim on rocky wasteland or woodland clearings. This ancient wild relative of the modern lettuce contains lactucarium, a narcotic similar to opium. The Romans took advantage of this property by eating lettuce at the end of a meal to induce sleep." from Wikipedia[^] Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
