Getting through an afternoon slump at work is a challenge for many, but there are ways to get your energy back up.

Beth Czerwony, a registered dietician with the Cleveland Clinic, said eating throughout the day will help you overcome that energy deficit in the afternoon. It’s important to stick to balanced meals with lean proteins and complex carbohydrates to give you energy over a longer period, since it takes your body more time to digest them.

We also tend to feel more fatigued when we’re dehydrated, so it’s important to drink plenty of water.

Staying active throughout the workday can also help. Get up and move around and go outside to get some fresh air and sunshine. Breaking away from the computer screen for a moment can give you an energy boost.

It’s also recommend consuming caffeine in moderation, because it can interfere with your sleep.
