When I wake up in the morning, I feel wide awake and ready to do anything. However, everday around 1-2pm, I just crash. I feel soooo tried, and I’ve to take an hour long nap. Is this normal, or could I be sick?
Answer:
Being fatigued in the afternoon isn't all that uncommon, but several things can make you extra tired. You need to have your iron level checked, you may be anemic. Are you taking a multi-vitamin with iron ? Women of child bearing age need more iron. Or you might have a blood sugar problem…. once again testing will determine that.
One thing that I've found that helps with the afternoon drowsiness is to drink something with caffeine and to eat something (a small amount) with protein.
You haven't mentioned what your diet is like, but a diet high in protein, complex carbohydrates (if it's white, it's not complex), fruits and vegetables will help prevent the afternoon sluggishness. Refined sugars and simple carbohydrates like white rice, white bread, white potatoes (including french fries) will tend to raise your insulin level and then drop you like a rock.
Proper nutrition should help, but don't hesitate to see your physician if the symptoms continue.
Good luck,

Answer:
thats the problem - you're unemployed. you dont have a normal working hours schedule - so u are just not tired to sleep, therefore you wake up from a bad sleep. and because of that u get tired during afternoon, plus u have nothing to do all day, so u get bored and feel like a nap will help.
i hope you're looking for a job! in the meantime, go out more, not necessary spend money, just sleep early, wake up early then go have a walk around, come back, make some lunch and read a book etc.
u just need to have a normal schedule to be back on track.
Answer:
Do you drink coffee in the morning? or caffeine? It could just be a low sugar crash and all of sudden makes you exhausted and lazy. Also sometimes since ur an unemployed could be feeling a tiny bit down, or depressed? Which always keeps you feeling exhausted and exhausted. Try doing some activites to keep you busy. Maybe go to a local pool and lay out there for a bit. Or go for a walk, go to the mall. Keep ur mind busy with things. There's plenty of things to do
