PM crash

[BikingNurse]

Looking for suggestions or what have you from those who have cured this. Lately, I have been getting that afternoon crash. I just want to take a nap!

Heres the break down.:I feel alot better when I walk on my lunch break but that usually takes up my whole break when I do that. I've increased my h2o intake decreased my soda. I'm not sleeping well at night. I work 36 hrs a week at the clinic then do scouts with my son and take the kids on a walk the other days. I'm so frusterated! I am trying to do enough stuff so I will be tired and then sleep well, but grrrr. it's not working the way (my) logic says it should. (I also have 2 other jobs that I do on call) last week I about worked my self to death but that is not normal

Any thoughts?

I thought you crashed your bike! Glad you're okay!

Afternoon crashing--I take a nap when I can. If I'm at work, a cup of coffee (with a little sugar if I'm really crashing). I usually pick up on the evening bike commute.

OMG! See, thats how tired I am. I didn't even think of that. Brain must wake up !!!

Do you eat lunch? Do you eat breakfast? Do you eat protein at either or both? How much soda do you drink even though you've decreased it? Do you get enough sleep?

I noticed at my last job that, all other meals being equal becasue I ate them, by decreasing and then totally elimainating my sugar intake made the difference. Everyone else in the factory was needing their 2 o'clock caffiene fix and I was feeling just great. No caffiene needed here.

I do not know what your food intake is usually in reference to Tulips comments above. I eat a good breakfast. Then I had a snack at 10 o'clock for 1st break. This was made of homemade granola bars and some form of fruit. Then lunch without the sugar. Then a normal dinner. Throughout the day I only drank water. The exceptions were when I came home and needed something else other than water. The replacements would be cold tea of some crystal light.

Hope this helps.

Yea, for me a shot of tea ( no sugar) is the cure. Soda is dreadful -- just crashes me worse. Think I'll try eradicating the sugar for a while, too (today sucked in the afternoon on general principle).
