And, perhaps one of the most surprising causes
of afternoon fatigue is having too little work to do.
Even this small daily dose of caffeine tends to result in weak adrenal symptoms and contribute to
early afternoon fatigue after awhile.
Through saliva testing my Doctor said I have early stage adrenal fatigue, elevated cortisol and low DHEA, along with symptoms of
extreme afternoon fatigue, low body temperature and weight gain.
If you reach for caffeinated energy drinks midafternoon: This suggests that the adrenal hormones may be dropping too quickly in the afternoon, leading to
the afternoon fatigue and drop in mental alertness.
Because most are primarily burning carbs as fuel,
afternoon fatigue is typically related to post-lunch hypoglycemia.
From a total lack of concentration, brain fog,
afternoon fatigue and general sense of things not being quite right in the heard, it's an all - too - common issue people just tolerate or medicate to deal with it.
