Ho hum

Well, it’s another ho-hum kinda day for me. I don’t know what I need to do to get more energy– sleep more, exercise, eat right, take vitamins, stop drinking, whatever– but I just get so wiped out around this time of day!

Lately, I’ve been having a recurring pattern– kind of tired in the morning, get a little bit of energy at around 11 AM, burn through it by 1 PM, have lunch somewhere between 12 and 1, and then kind of crash at around 2.

By 2:30, I am ready for a nap.

By 4:30, I am ready to go home.

By 7:30, I have a splitting headache.

As I said– I don’t know what the answer is, but I’ve got to find a solution to this low-energy mode that I’m in lately. It’s hard to concentrate and get any work done, and I end up wasting about half of my day, just kind of killing time, trying to catch a second wind.

I can certainly feel my body wanting to get into the work4/sleep4 mode again, where I work for 4 hours in the late morning/early afternoon, sleep for 2-4 hours in the late afternoon/early evening, and then get back to work in the late evening until about 2 AM. Unfortunately, with such a long commute and no telecommute options, I just don’t have that luxury right now.
