I tend to get sleepy too, if I have a large lunch with a lot of carbohydrates (particularly simple carbs). Try changing what you eat for lunch. Alternatively, I know many people who swear by a 20 minute midday siesta as a cure for the same issue. -Scott Linda,

I'm a morning person who has no problem waking up, but my brain literally shuts down from 2-3pm every day. I will have class/work at 2pm going forward in life and I can't afford to be slow at that time. This post has inspired me to experiment with a small exercise at around 2pm and see if that'll wake me up. But in general, anyone has tips for overcoming this type of situation? Thanks a lot!

A weekday/weekend schedule difference would also be helpful, but you might want to push the total adaptation time to 45 days to adjust for the lack of consistency. -Scott Marina,

What do you do on weekends? Am I the only one that sleeps a lot later on weekends? I could never wake up so early after going to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning... how did you managed your social life in those 30 days?
