How come I get tired in the middle of the day?

It happens to me and some friends. And it doesn't help if that period is right after lunch. I find that drinking cold water (not soda) and taking a walking break outdoors do me a lot of good. It's even better to have a "sleepy partner" to take the walk with you so you guys can talk and laugh.

Well if you are on any drugs right now that could be affecting you!  I know I was on a drug and it made me so incredibly tired!  I am now off that drug and I am great!  If this isn't the case perhaps you need to try energy drinks or see if you are getting enough iron!  Iron is very important and a lot of women are lacking in this department!  Try eating some foods high in iron like broccoli and nuts!  Good luck!  I know how horrible it is to be tired!  Also try planning things to get you excited!

Hi,\n\nYour body is probably not having enough energy.. and that is why you start to feel tired starting from the afternoon onwards.\n\nYou might want to try to do a detox. A friend of mine with the same problem of feeling really tired after lunch did a detox and found that he could now last till end of the day and even have the energy to wake at 6am to jog or take a walk.\n\nIn addition, the detox also helped him lose some extra fats.\n\nI myself lost like 15kg within 2 months and never felt better ;)\nYou can see my pics here:\nhttp://dreamsincredibles.blogspot.com/2005/10/angel-is-most-beautiful-mum-to-be-2005.html\n\nIf you are interested to find out more, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com

You may feel sleepy due to following reasons:\n1. Lack of sleep at yesterday night - resolve it by finding out the sufficient time what you need for your sleep\n2. Lack of interst with your activity:\n  Resolve it by understaing the importance and how impactive that event is for ur life\n3. Reading/Studying for long Hrs:\n  You should always take break while studying for long period. If you don't have time then do shake any of ur body part frequently. Since, if you are sitting at same position 4 long time then ur brain stop getting required O2 and you can realize it via yawn. So do take little walk, go for water, chat with ur friendz then come and carry on ur activity\n4. Due to body condition:- Consuly a good doctor

Definitely!!!  Your body's energy level is low when you're sleepy therefore you can't be kept as warm!  This ALWAYS happens to me!

Its the same thing as if you were to eat a very large dinner (think back to how you felt after last Thanksgiving) your body is using up so much of its energy digesting that you feel physically tired. Try using water instead of milk, or if that tastes too bad just less milk. You are taking in too many calories for your body to handle it all.

It is usually lack of sleep or increased stress.  Sometimes too much caffeine or nicotine can be the cause.  The technical term is Myokymia.

regular exercise gives you lots of energy because your body gets used to having to perform. If you do not move a lot everyday, then your body thinks that no energy is needed to stay alive, and then you get really drowsy and torpid.

if you go sleep at 9 pm, and wake up at 6 am, you are getting 9 hours of sleep, which is plenty. If you are still feeling tired, think about why. Are you eating healthy food? enough iron? enough excercise?

Well, if you are getting your usual amount of sleep and you know you rested well because you remember dreams on occasion (they are a telltale sign of rem sleep which is the most effective), then the only other 2 issues are Stress and Endocrine disorder.\nStress and zap your energy to make you feel like you are dragging butt everyday all day long-stress management can help you.\nGet a physical for the second issue- you can have an underactive thyroid condition or anemia which would cause the tiredness and sleepiness--- now if you only get these feeling around 2-3 in the afternoon, I would suggest a blood sugar problem because you may be eating too many carbs for lunch and the tiredness is due to trying to digest your lunches.

Sleep during the day.

Its possible you aren't getting enough sleep.\n\nIts possible you aren't eating right.  Maybe you're not getting enough protein or even fat, both of which can make you feel a little more energetic.\n\nIf there's any chance you have a little depression you would not always have the energy to work out.\n\nIf you live under unrelenting stress its possible your adrenal gland has "run out of juice" and cannot produce sufficient cortisol for you to be able to exercise without feeling depleted.  ("Adrenal fatigue" causes people to feel depleted rather than invigorated by exercise.)

Depends on how long you sleep during the day. Apparently, according to the news a couple months ago, scientists have discovered that afternoon naps recharge the body and mind. If you're really worried tho, I'd go ask your doctor.

If your pattern is that you get up ok, but then you start to lose energy in the morning, it might be you are having low blood sugar episodes.  I am a former hypoglycemic, now diabetic, up at 4:30 - no gym, no novels, but have to eat my protein based breakfast pretty quick or I start to fade.\n\nCheck out low blood sugar at www.hufa.org to see if it sounds like you.

Well, it didn't happened to me, but i think is something a little bit scaring, but if you were really tired and if you worked a lot those days...I think is normal.You should ask a doctor about this, to don't worry much.
