A lot of people feel like they’re in a tired stupor between 4 and 5 p.m.
every day. Many make the mistake of eating candy or fatty stuff to get
an energy boost. The secret is that many times that slump comes
because we’re really thirsty! Drink a big glass of water, and see what
happens.

Other possible causes of afternoon energy slumps could be a general lack
of exercise. Make sure to enjoy daily physical activities. Go move
your body for 10 minutes. Get some fresh air. Try walking up a few
flights of stairs or around the block. Dance to a couple of tunes. Bounce a ball around.
Your blood sugar could also be a little low. When is the last time you
ate something? More than two hours ago? Have a small fruit or cracker
snack, and a big glass of water. Get some food, water, and air into your
blood stream.
Or, maybe you’re not getting enough sleep every night. Perhaps a nap is
in store for you. Most of us need to consistently get 7+ hours of
sleep.
