The 3pm wall. Every single day. I'm talking eyes glazing over, desperately hunting for biscuits, basically useless until about 4:30. I've had this for maybe two years now and I've only just started wondering if it's actually connected to what I'm eating earlier rather than just... being 56 and tired. Began paying attention this week. Monday I had my usual toast and marmite at half seven, crashed by half two. Tuesday I scrambled three eggs with spinach, didn't crash until nearly four which honestly felt like a miracle. Wednesday back to toast because I was rushing and yeah, 2:45 on the dot, nearly fell asleep in a meeting. I know that's not exactly rigorous science but something is going on. I've also been trying to sort out three proper dinners a week in advance, just so I'm not standing in the kitchen at 6pm completely depleted making terrible choices. It's helping a bit with the evenings but the afternoons are still the problem. I've got a GP appointment in a couple of weeks and I want to bring this up properly, not just say "I feel tired" and get sent away. Has anyone tracked their energy dips alongside meals in a way that was actually useful to show a doctor? I've been jotting times down but I'm not sure what else to note. x
