How can I get more neurological brain power in my afternoons?
I'm an older person (doing a strict MM lifestyle) so this issue of having declining brain power in the latter part of my day isn't causing my career to suffer-- but in my personal life it affects my quality of life because all I really feel like doing in the afternoon (until I get a second wind) is vegging out in front of the TV. I know this isn't morally wrong but even reading a book is sometimes too much. And I LOVE to read! I seem to only want to read before bed (while in bed) and that usually means I read 5 pages or less before falling asleep.
I wonder if my habit of getting myself back to sleep in the middle of the night by listening to something on my phone is draining all my brain power. I keep the phone away from my head and put one of those deals (I forget what they are called) (that Anthony says helps block the EMFs) between my phone and my body.
I drink a green juice in the afternoon and a spinach soup for lunch so I think I am getting enough leafy greens. I really try to manage my glucose too. And eat every 1.5-2 hours.
I have pretty awesome brain power in the mornings though.
Is this just normal or are there tools I can bring in to help with this afternoon slump?
Thanks!
