5 pm crash??? How to get rid of this?

[sundizzle]

At about 430 everyday (at work) I start feeling tireeeeddd.  I just want to get home, put on some hoops and go to sleep. However, if I take a nap (always last 2 hours or so), I don't end up falling asleep till 1 or 2 am.  Then I don't feel great when I got to wake up at 645 or 7.  How do I train my body NOT to want this 5 pm nap.  I just have a general feeling of sleepiness from 5-9 pm.  Once i get to 9 pm I'm fine.  Anyone else like this?

If I go to bed at 1130 and get up at 715, I still feel 5-9 pm drowsyish. Don't most people? What do you do to combat this?

I dip tobacco, so that gives me a boost throughout the day. don't recommend my nasty habit. but I try to run 4 miles in the morning every day just so I can feel high.

I work out usually at that time. They do say that that time period is the best for exercise.

Got used to this already.

I say, grab some carbs so you get some energy and try to be active during that period?

Alot people feel the same way. The only thing I can say is if you have to wake up at 7 AM go to bed at 10PM but alot people don't do this though and are chronically tired.

taking a walk/getting some fresh air when I feel a bit tired always wakes my body up.

you ever try to go to sleep and after a few minutes, you get a call/text and you suddenly feel energized?  limit your 5pm nap to only 15-30 min.It really does wonders

Take a 15 minute nap during your lunch break. No more, no less.

It'll get you through the rest of your work day.

stay hydrated, light snacks between meals, do something active during that down time
