'Oh God… Monday again… on top of this my tendency to just get dull by afternoon… I again have to pull up my shoes to just pull this week off… I have tried that 'good' food, live on Coffee/tea during my work and try enjoying my work… even then why does this dullness and loss of energy by afternoon follows me every day?'

Stop questioning yourself on this. Instead read the following and start analyzing if your day includes all these or either or not;

There's no better way to ensure you have enough energy to get you through that mountain of work than by starting the day with a good breakfast. Put the granola bar down, steer clear of the mega muffin – neither is going to do you any favors. Rather than relying on coffee and sugar to kickstart your day, opt instead for the nutrients your body really needs. Get up 15 to 20 minutes earlier (we know it's hard but it's worth it) and eat something that will keep you satisfied and give you energy.

The way you start your day with a ‘proper’ breakfast, makes a lot of difference on how your day will be carried further. Try Some tasty and power-packed options include oatmeal (not the instant, sugar-filled kind) topped with a handful of raw nuts and fresh berries, two scrambled eggs with lightly sautéed spinach and red peppers or low-fat plain yogurt topped with fresh or frozen fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and ground flax seeds mixed in.

Make sure you don't fall into a trap of not drinking enough water. Once you're on a roll, it can be hard to remember to stop and sip -- but staying hydrated is an absolute must if you want to avoid a midday crash. The more tired you get, the more tempted you'll be to reach for a coffee or sugary soda, which will only dehydrate you further. Keep a reusable bottle by your desk and sip all day. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to make it more palatable, or better yet, fill a larger jug with water and add cucumber and orange slices. Not only it tastes Yum, but helps giving you that power packed energy boost.

Recent studies have shown that sitting is bad for our health, and even if you exercise regularly, being in your chair for prolonged periods can cause a host of problems. But aside from that, being stuck in your office for too long without getting your blood flowing can cause you to feel tired and unmotivated. As soon as you feel like you can't concentrate and you've read the same paragraph six times and you still have no idea what it says, it's time to get up and get moving! Rather than email a colleague, instead walk over to her desk to chat about whatever you were going to send. Go outside and walk around the block or spend a few minutes trotting up and down a few flights of stairs. The change of scenery and fact you're up and moving will make a big difference in your performance once you're back at your desk.

And most important, Like starting the day off right, getting a good sleep is the other major key to solving the at-work energy crisis. Sleep is elusive for many of us, but doing everything we can to ensure a decent 6 or 7 hours every night (minimum) is beneficial to health, mood and energy level. Try these tips;

Try going to bed at the same time every night and getting up at the same time in the morning so your body gets used to a sleep routine.

Avoid the before-bed baddies like caffeine, sugar and alcohol before hitting the sack.

No working until right before you turn out the light. Cut yourself off from your laptop, iPad and phone at least two hours before bed. Checking work email will just stress you out.

Make sure your room is comfortable – quality pillow, not too hot or too cold and dark enough to sleep easily.

Rather than just cribbing about your day, try the above first!
