thenobsta··on Ask HN: Mental fatgue after a long day, what do you do to sharpen your brain?
Great anecdote.

I'm playing with ketosis/fasting at the moment. Right I now am waiting to eat till early afternoon and then grazing the rest of the day. I still find I need to refocus sometime between 3-5. Trying a caffeine-nap seems like a good thing to explore for me.

I nap often (in the sun too). I find there's nothing quite like a stimulating activity though.

There's interesting research on caffeine-naps (or nappucinos). Empirically, these are useful--http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/03/coffee-sleep-power-...

I do, maybe one coffee per day. I'll try to go two weeks with no caffeine.

I find snacking throughout the day helps a lot for consistency of energy (been known to forget to eat for most of some days...not good).
