Hello wise ladies. The 3pm crash. Every single day. I sit down after lunch and it's like someone pulls a plug. Eyes heavy, can't concentrate, reach for biscuits I don't even want. I've been trying to work out if it's what I'm eating at lunch or just... being 61 and postmeno and that's that. My lunches are honestly a bit rubbish. Usually whatever's quick, often just toast or a sandwich, sometimes nothing proper at all if work gets busy. Someone on here mentioned meal planning a little while back and I've been thinking about it. Not a whole week, that feels like a lot, but even just sorting three evening meals in advance so I'm not improvising every night and then having nothing useful for the next day's lunch either. That knock-on effect is real isn't it. I keep wondering whether I should mention the afternoon thing to my GP. It feels too vague to bring up. "I get tired at three" sounds feeble. But it's every day and it's affecting my work and I'm not sure it's just tiredness, it feels more like a blood sugar thing? I don't actually know. I'd like to know. If anyone has changed something and noticed the afternoon bit improve, I'd genuinely love to hear what it was. Doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, we're pretty much a meat and two veg household and budget matters. Just curious what shifted for people x
