Fatigue every afternoon - How can I get more energy?

Hello @jmorris58, Welcome to Connect. I had some similar symptoms of being tired later in the day a few years ago and during a doctor's appointment for another problem, the doctor asked me if I snored a lot.🙂 I answered yes and the doctor setup an appointment for a sleep test which determined I had sleep apnea. It took me over a year of using a CPAP before I started noticing I had more energy during the day which I'm sure was due to sleeping better. Here is an article on the topic you might find helpful for suggestions:

I have sleep apnea, diagnosed when I was 50, 26 years ago. As soon as I got a CPAP I became a different person! No afternoon sluggishness or falling asleep while driving. Anyone who snores, even mildly, may have sleep Apnea. Only a sleep test can tell. Btw, I’m now 76 and still use a CPAP.
