Anyone else having that '2 PM feeling?'

LadySamLady · September 2015

I am at work (I work in a financial office) and just hit a major wall. I'm totally queasy and exhausted all of a sudden. Nibbling on ginger candy but it isn't helping. Anyone else feeling the mid-afternoon lull?

I was feeling that BIG TIME from weeks 6-9. Luckily, my energy level has started to pick up and the afternoons are not as brutal as they were even a week ago.

So it's only 1 here, but I've definitely hit that wall :P luckily both kids (mine + daycare) are down for naps for about another hour, so I'm hoping to crash ling enough to refill the tanks for an afternoon with 2 one year olds!

Just past noon here, but I've been feeling yucky all day. I seem to be having true morning sickness this time, and when two o'clock rolls around, I'll stop feeling sick and just be sleepy. Yay!

I can completely relate. It's just after 2pm and am so ready to take a nap! Snoozing under my desk is starting to sound like a good idea. Lol.

I have my bad ms from when I wake until lunch then feel fatigued from lunch til dinner. Just had a packet of plain potato chips and sipped on a glass of ginger ale, and I feel better than I have all day long. Just need to make it until 5:00...

Yes - excpet I work nights so mine is a 2am wall! From 2-5 I can hardly stay awake!

Every afternoon I hit the same wall - sharp drop-off of energy and increase of nausea. I try to keep a stock of seltzer and crackers to help.

Our class scheduled goes from periods 1-8 and then each month we switch and go 8-1. Yesterday we just switched to the reverse 8-1. Which means I had NO BREAK AT ALL until 1pm. I was eating saltines all morning and dying for my lunch. Then I had to teach a class after my short lunch, and finally on my planning now. While I love that I only have one class to go, I seriously feel like I have zero energy to go through the same thing for the 6th time today.

I feel like that from 8am-5pm

Snacking on carbs kinda helps

Lairrah · September 2015

YES!! The afternoon at work is the worst for me. I've been taking 1/2 Unisom at night which helps me with nausea in the AM, but by early afternoon I am really struggling with nausea and exhaustion. I've found that granny smith apples help me with nausea and I force myself to get up and walk around. La Croix seltzer water (any citrus flavor) also seems to help me.

momofmanyinthemitten · September 2015

I get it weeks 6-13, then it disappears overnight. Hasn't hit me yet this time around, as I'm not quite 6 weeks.

ImpatientPatty · September 2015

For me I hit the wall at 2 pm. I just want to sleep!!

Julesby · September 2015

@Lairrah - Thank you for the granny smith reminder. I'm going to pick up some tonight. We went on a cruise earlier this year, and I completely forgot that they told us green apples would help with nausea.

seasidesweete · September 2015

I have felt like a zombie all day! I thought it was bc I went to sleep later but maybe it's all the development sucking out the energy! I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow. I also get sever gas pains starting around 2 or 3 every afternoon. Hopefully second trimester gives us an energy boost!

kaitlyn592 · September 2015

Yes!!! I feel this every day, including weekends, unless I'm at home in bed for most of the day. But of course I work full-time so I hit the wall everyday at about 2 PM.

jenniferamcooper · September 2015

I fantasize about taking a nap under my desk, George Castanza-style around 2pm everyday. I have a door that locks, I seriously consider blocking out my calendar and taking a snooze.

This is why I could not be trusted with my own locking office.

I know I am late to the party. 2pm -ish is the time I dread the most during the day. I was so nauseous and tired I could have cried.

pinottoparenthood · September 2015

imrachellea WOW 8 periods seems like a lot!! We have seven periods (47 minutes), but I have planning for two of those periods and also a 30 minute lunch... and mine are spread out, so I get a lot of breaks in the day. Thank God because I have to eat at EVERY break to try to keep the nausea somewhat at bay.... what grade(s) do you teach again?

MimiMunster+ · September 2015

Im the same. 2pm is when I'd curl up anywhere to sleep. No nausea, just exhaustion. I sometimes indulge myself with a coffee if I've been good that week. I skip morning coffees now. I keep my 1 cup a day max specifically for the wall.

jdl330 · September 2015

I've felt like that on the weekends! I'm a teacher so I don't have time to think about being tired until I get home from work. I plop myself on the couch with an exhausted feeling.

queen_frostine · September 2015

I've been getting this so much. Today I considered taking a nap in my office - then realized if I turned off the lights and hid in the corner, it would look like I wasn't there anyway, so I went home. Only got about an hour in two parts (husband coming home woke me up, then the cat barfing). I have big plans for this weekend that include a lot of sleeping (but I'll probably be too anxious to sleep much when I get the actual chance).

jevonpeh · September 2015
