Getting Rid of Afternoon Lethargy

Every afternoon between about 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, millions of people start to feel sluggish and sleepy. Concentration on the job becomes more difficult and the desire to just lie down and take a nap is overwhelming.

What is this? What happens at that time of day that almost always makes us so lethargic? More importantly, what can be done about it? Mid-afternoon sluggishness is known as the post-lunch dip and it’s a function of our biological clock.

We naturally feel sleepy at two times during each 24-hour period – 2:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The afternoon dip can be made worse by consuming lots of carbohydrates at lunchtime. This dip can make a person very lethargic for a period in the afternoon, and it usually clears up at about 3:00 PM, when the body comes out of its dip naturally.

If you’ve ever suffered from the afternoon slump in energy and motivation, read the following tips. They’ll help you feel better each day and you’ll be able to get more done!

During your afternoon slump, it’s good to allow yourself a bit of a break until your energy reappears (and it will). If you’re able to, it helps to allow yourself to do some web surfing. This might seem lazy and unproductive, but if you’re visiting sites of interest, where you can actually learn some pretty neat stuff, it can turn out to be very productive.

If you’re in the middle of an afternoon energy slump and you just don’t feel like doing anything except putting your head on your desk and taking a nap, it’s time to chug an energy juice drink! Often, the only thing your body needs to snap itself back into action is a kick-start from within.

Don’t waste your mid-afternoon energy slump by napping or sitting and staring into space - write that book that’s been waiting to come out of you! You’ve always thought you should, but you’ve never gotten around to it.

For an hour or so each afternoon, you have the potential of wasting time getting through your afternoon slump, or of accomplishing something big – like starting your own business. You can spend time you might otherwise have waste being tired, bored and lazy starting and running your own company.
