Most days around 2pm I am seriously drowsy. Eyes closing, head nodding drowsy. It's majorly embarrassing and I've begun to dread afternoon work meetings as this is the absolute worst. Not too bad if I'm just working at my desk or home - I can stretch my legs, go make if drink etc but it's when I have to sit still and concentrate and it's always around 2pm.morning meetings are no problem
I have little tricks like excusing myself for the loo, pinching my skin, removing any warm layers until I'm cold, drinking water.
Been like this for years.
I have two coffees between 8-11am, eat three meals, some snacks, exercise 2-3 times a week, sleep 6-8 hrs per night (the 6hr sleeps don't correspond with daytime drowsiness), 42 years old, regular busy life FT job, kids etc. Crave sugary snacks around 930pm.
Have you experienced this drowsiness and how do you handle it at work? Any ideas greatly received!
