Its particularly un-nice in winter when it's pitch dark leaving work at 6. Bleh.

I often go to the garage and have a nap in my car!

Gareth I still don't really know what you actually DO.

i've been listening to a lot of disco lately and read this thread title as "my menergy level in the afternoon..."

...which is pretty low right now, actually

i have a very low energy level in the afternoon! i want to pass out all the time. i'm not sure if i'm dehydrated or bipolar. both are possible.

I save all my running-around errands for the afternoons. Otherwise I turn into Bejeweled-addict zombie Adam.

my energy levels seem to drop mainly when i have little to do.

i was completely alone in the office all yesterday and was dozing off (first time ever at work) from about 1pm - all i was doing was browsing the net and watching a movie, and it felt like the longest day ever. i prefer to keep busy for this reason.

I've been trying Ken C's advice of drinking plenty of water in the afternoon - especially, just after lunch. As far as I can tell, it seems to be working.

If nothing else, it means you have to keep getting up and walking to the toilet!

Hahah, that's true.

Isn't it all about the blood rushing to your stomach after lunch (and away from your brain?) If you ever go on a time organisation training course, they will teach you how to schedule your envelope-stuffing and photocopying for right after lunch when you can't concentrate on anything more taxing.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 10:21 (eighteen years ago) link

It's when I do most of my ILX-reading

(apart from lunchtime itself - i'm trying to type around my lunch box right now)

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 10:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Photocopying means standing up, though. After lunch I like to have several fairly straghtforward deskbound tasks, as anything that remotely taxes me/obliges me to move will just not get done.

Not if your office photocopier is right next to the COMFY RECEPTION ARMCHAIRS

In my work I read a lot of psychiatric reports, and low energy in the afternoon is associated with bipolar disorder (the new name for manic depression).

by this assessment, basically everyone in my company and everyone i know is a potential bipolar case.

Correlation <> causation, you know?

I totally get the mid afternoon dip, and I'm bipolar. But is there a causal link? Or even a casual link? I know not.

Coffee and upbeat music on the headphones is my answer.

take a nap

― puerile fantasies (Matt P), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

can't...but I may do a coffee run, come back and listen to The Stooges on Spotify for 15 mins. It doesn't help that what I do involves working in low lit rooms with comfy chairs.

― Pizzataco Five (admrl), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link

Still, the tips are pretty great
