Okay so the 3pm thing. Every single day, like clockwork, I just... go. Brain offline, eyes heavy, could put my head on my desk and sleep for a week. I've had this for months and kept blaming bad nights but honestly my sleep is no worse than it's been for two years so something else is going on. I started eating more protein at breakfast a few weeks back, mainly because someone mentioned it on here and I was desperate enough to try anything. Eggs, or sometimes Greek yoghurt with nuts if I'm rushing. I won't pretend it's fixed everything but the crashes feel slightly less catastrophic? Like I still flag but I'm not dissolving at my desk. Dinner I've been trying to do the same, a proper protein thing rather than just pasta and a vague hope. It's easier for one tbh, I can just have salmon or chicken thighs and some veg and not worry about feeding anyone else. My GP appointment is coming up and I really want to talk about the energy crashes properly this time rather than mentioning them at the end as an afterthought and getting a leaflet about sleep hygiene. Has anyone managed to get bloodwork done for this kind of thing? I don't even know what to ask for. I want to go in sounding like I know what I'm talking about for once x
