Fatigue every afternoon - How can I get more energy?

Posted by jmorris58 @jmorris58, Dec 18, 2022

I am 75 and am very tired every afternoon. I need a two hour nap. My blood work is good. Any comments that can help me get more energy?

I take an hour's nap most days before 3 pm. It helps me sleep better at night when I am not overtired. I also take a Tylenol if part of me is in pain. I get a second wind afterwards. I do not plan my day around it, but more than a couple days in a row without the "siesta" reminds me that I need it.

I do the same thing. I call this my “self care time.” I breathe and meditate. It helps carry through for the rest of the day. I am also able to sleep through the night.
