Yes. Found out I had a strong vitamin D deficiency because my client site has windowless. Probably affecting everyone more so with COVID.

If not that, 95% chance it’s just sleep, diet, and exercise or lack thereof.

Joe rogan has a great episode on sleep and the science behind it. Episode 1109 with Dr. Matthew Walker. A podcast about sleep didn’t sound interesting to me, but after listening to it, may be my favorite podcast episode. I was hooked on the first 5 minutes.

It has ton of useful info and does go into the reason why we get tired in the afternoon.

Honestly I've been eating healthier than ever and taking vitamins since I've been working from home but I've gotten more sleepy than ever lately and I don't know how to justify it. I sleep, drink, and stress the same but most of my usual energy and motivation has been shot to hell. IDK what gives, but I feel you :( you're not alone. I keep telling myself it's normal to feel off given everything that's going on, but it doesn't feel true.

I used to, but it turns out that my sleep schedule was hot garbage. Fixed it up and I stopped getting tired midday unless something specific happened.

See a functional med doctor, or just a reg doc. Taking B12, D, magnesium and iron really helped me. Eat more protein. Get exercise in the day, make sure you sleep enough and it’s good quality sleep. Walk around for 5-10 min during the day every few hours and go outside if possible

Also, it could just be the quarantine drowsiness that tons of peeps have.

Eliminate sugar and simple carbs.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

Do you think getting Aderall could help even though I’m doing fine? Maybe I’ll go from good associate to great

Am I being dumb here - just purchased a fridge from Lowes, delivery next week.

I am leaning toward keeping my order with Lowes … current fridge works, it is just old and shelves / ice maker is broken.

How to deal with an overly paranoid family member? I've been working from my parents place for the past month and my brother recently came home for the holidays. Out of all of us, my brother is the most cautious, but to the point where he is paranoid. Like, he will wear 2 masks, doesn't see anyone, uses hand sanitizer after touching anything (like his shoelace), and doesn't use grocery store baskets (holds everything). I respect his habits and I've been pretty cautious (cont. in comments)
