Top Causes of the Afternoon Slump

According to a new survey of 2-thousand U.S. adults, the average afternoon slump kicks in at 3 p.m. and lasts for about 29 minutes.

• It turns out there’s even a specific day of the week when people are more likely to get hit with one - Tuesday is the most afternoon slump-inducing day overall.

• The the top causes include a lack of caffeine (56%), boredom (53%), lack of energy (53%), lack of food (51%), lack of sleep (41%).

• Fortunately, two-thirds (67%) of respondents say it’s easy to recover from a slump and the best ways to do that are taking a walk (58%), eating (55%) or exercising (49%).

• And their go-to foods that do the trick? Nuts or trail mix top the list (56%), followed by pretzels (52%), chips (52%) and candy (46%).
