DealDash Beats the Afternoon Slump
We are all familiar with the “afternoon slump,” that time around 2 or 3 PM when all we want to do is take a nap. DealDash has some ideas to beat the afternoon slump and keep you working!
Most of us tend to suffer an all out sleepiness assault in the mid-to-late-afternoon, it’s not all in your head. Most people definitely experience at least a small dip in their energy, concentration, and alertness almost every afternoon, especially on work days. Why is this? Well, there are many reasons, but two of the most common ones are:
- You’ve been sitting at your desk for hours upon hours.
- You’re dehydrated.
There are easy solutions to those two problems. For the first problem, simply getting up and moving around for at least 5 minutes every hour can greatly reduce your loginess. You can accomplish this without attracting the ire of your bosses by getting up to make copies, retrieve your printouts from the laser printer, or going to use the restroom.
For the second problem, the solution is even easier! Just bring a re-usable water bottle into work and keep it filled and on your desk at all times. Give it a quick rinse at the end of the day, set it upside down on a paper towel on your desk to dry overnight, and it will be as good as new in the morning and ready to fill with water all over again. Personally, I prefer to keep my water bottle filled with ice, and just drink the ice water as it melts, but I realize not everyone has the luxury of being near an ice maker at all times.
There are other reasons for the afternoon slump, some of the other causes can include eating too many carbs at lunch, staying up late the night before, drinking alcohol the night before, getting inadequate sleep due to a bad mattress, and other various reasons. If you try to correct these problems and are still experiencing an afternoon slump every day, then you might want to visit your doctor, you might be missing some vital nutrients in your diet that they can help you correct.
