A Day in the Life: Hitting the Afternoon Wall

This has become a regular part of my life and I’ve got to say it’s getting old.  It seems that about every day between 2 and 4 p.m. I totally crash.  My productivity lapses, my eyes get heavy, and really all I want to do is sleep.  I’ve tried several of the “tricks” to overcome this phenomenon.  I brush my teeth.  I walk around the office.  I drink more caffeine.  I listen to pop music.  I slay dragons. Nothing.

Any advice on how to beat this? Maybe I should just start trying to get to work at 7 so I can leave by 4.  I suppose that could be a good plan.  In that case, any advice on how to make myself get out of bed early enough to get to work by 7?  Oh woe is me…
