Hey guys,<p>I feel completely drain at end of day after work.<p>When I come home I just want to lie down and watch something.<p>If I try to do something I feel tired eyes and do not want to do anything.<p>Do you feel same?<p>Please suggest how to overcome this.
I know exactly what you mean, and there are many things that factor into my evening energy. Here are a few that I use as a mental checklist, roughly ranked in order of impact:<p>1. Sleep: did I get enough high quality sleep for the past few nights? This is by far the most important.<p>2. Exercise: have I been exercising regularly? Weights and cardio?<p>3. Caffeine: what was my caffeine intake like during the day? Did I have a coffee-induced spike at 4 that is causing a down-swing when I get home at 7? Having more moderation and reducing caffeine after a certain hour can really help me here.<p>4. Breaks: did I take enough breaks during my working hours? If I forget to, I usually feel mentally drained after work.<p>If I get the "lie down and not want to do anything" feeling in the evening, it's usually because I slacked on some combination of these four. For me it's usually sleep, which I've found to be the key foundation that makes the rest much easier to manage as well.
Yes. I was diagnosed very low vitamin D level. I generally speaking don't like sun but last summer I exposed to it so I hope that helped.<p>Besides I'm going to do some more blood tests (GTT, Ferro etc.) to check if I have problems with insulin. That might be the indicator of insulin resistance, Hashimoto's thyroiditis or other form of diabetes.
yes, I kinda feel the same. In high school I could program for 3 days without sleeping. These days, however, even I slack off at work, I feel drained after work, I don't have the energy to work on my side projects.
It depends what I'm working on. When the problem is challenging than I cannot even sleep after work. What is more, I got small kids, so after work I play with them, chat with wife - this gives me super charge!
