The Dreaded Noontime Energy Dip

Took a lengthy nap in the evening, again.  Am awake as fuck overnight, again.  Which means one thing, again: Around noon or so I will be so, so tired that I am afraid I will fall asleep at my desk.  This has become a huge problem the last couple weeks or so, and I don't know what exactly happened that has started this.  But I haven't been this (for lack of a better word) dangerously drowsy for any part of my workday in a long time, ever since I was a temp for Radisson and fell asleep at my desk during the afternoon.

I can feel it coming, and frankly, it scares me.  I get so tired I can barely function.  I forget how to do things.  I feel this mania build up in my body that I can't shake.  Yesterday at work, I got up and stood for a few minutes to get my mind away from work in an attempt to wake up.  That tore me away from listening to the England-Netherlands Women's EUROS Match, and I didn't want to tear myself away from listening to a second of that tournament, but I absolutely had to.  I didn't think I was going to fall asleep; I felt like I was about to die.

And, seeing how wide-awake I am right now, this is going to happen again today, dammit.
