If you find yourself feeling ready for a nap after lunch, you are not alone.

The post-lunch dip affects people throughout the world. And while some of us have the luxury of actually taking a nap, others are stuck at work, where a nap isn't an option. So, unfortunately we turn to sugary energy drinks or over-indulge in coffee to get by.

You wanted your life to be simpler:

You wanted to sip your morning coffee in peace while browsing the morning paper. Then, you’d go to work without hurries, and get back home around 5pm, sometimes even earlier. In the evening, you would spend time with your family, or by working on your personal projects.

Your wants sound reasonable, but there is one huge problem:

You are in a “busy mode” all the time.

Getting a new job is a wonderful thing, but once an initial excitement passes, the anxiety and nerves might take its place. This is completely normal – actually, it would be surprising if you weren’t stressed out; however, this doesn’t make it easier for many of us.

I used to be an early riser. I would get up at 5 am by waking up to the gruelling sound of an alarm. I would then get up and start my day.

I was up before others, and I was productive. However, there was a downside to this...

When the afternoon would hit, I was feeling like a zombie; I could barely keep my eyes open, and doing my work (I was a web developer at that time) was almost impossible.

Eventually, I got fed up with this lifestyle, being chronically sleep-deprived, unable to focus on the tasks at hand, and just generally feeling bad.
