A bout of sluggishness during the afternoon is a natural part of our circadian rhythm, also known as our sleep and wake cycle.

Dr. Sheetal DeCaria says there are other causes that we can control, including poor sleep, poor dietary choices and stress.

Eating balanced meals with a mix of protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates can prevent an afternoon crash.

Some studies suggest that chewing gum, particularly mint gum, can improve alertness and help you concentrate better.

Consider a short nap (called a siesta) after lunch in order to regain energy levels.

A short nap of 10 to 20 minutes can recharge you without causing grogginess.
