Is the afternoon slump actually evolutionarily programmed?
Morning person here. I can do precise medical illustration work from 5am to 11am, then after lunch my brain turns into wet newspaper. I've read about biphasic sleep cultures — maybe that post-lunch dip isn't laziness but a leftover circadian rhythm. Anyone else feel like afternoons are just a tax on the day?

In the ICU I've watched people fight the afternoon wave for years—our bodies aren't designed to be on all the time. That dip feels less like a bug and more like a permission slip to slow down, if we'd take it.
