I don't know why but almost every week day mon-fri at about 2 pm I could just lay my head on my desk and SLEEP! Anyone having this trouble? Then after I get home I am ready to go again. It's wierd!!!

    Oh my god! This just happened to me, I had to go get a cup of tea to wake me up(and I've just about given up caffeen now, so it was surprising for me to need it!) I had to take a little walk around the office while the tea boiled so I wouldnt' fall asleep!

    This would happen to me every morning around 9:30. I would be typing or reading something (usually MFP Shhh! should be working) at I would actually nod my head. When I signed up with my trainer I told her about this and when she looked at my food diary, she told me it was my oatmeal (maple and brown sugar with cream). She said it was spiking my sugar and then I would crash. Needless to say I didn't want to believe it because I love oatmeal but I tried something else the next mornig and I was fine. So watch the sugar in your foods.

    One more thing, she told me not to use artificial sweetener, to use sugar in the raw.

    I just give in and take a nap. Either take a break and go fold out the seat in my car. Or take a power nap in a bathroom stall. Hey, laugh it up, it works.

    Most of my sleepy moments are not lack of food, or carb crash, but simply, lack of O2 to the brain. When I get sleepy, I take about 5 deep breaths, and I perk up!

    I have this problem too, but for me it's boredom. I have nothing to do at work. I get all my stuff done in the morning and then the afternoon just drags. I need to learn to pace myself better but I just can't!!

    I get like this during the winter months but not so much during the summer. Maybe the extra sunlight helps?

    That is my problem too. Being bored at work, sucks!!! The phone doesn't even ring. Normally that will wake me up. :bigsmile:
