On weekdays, when I'm at work, I get tired really easy - and often can be found yawning every 10 minutes or so.

Not very professional and damn annoying - at the weekends I'm fine - so it must be to do with being sat in an office all day.

Does anyone else feel the same? Or even better, did you feel the same and have found a cure?

I sleep well (I think) and I eat well.. I do weight training 4 times a week, but surely if I'm okay at the weekend this shouldn't be a problem?

I was going to say the same.

Out here in Dubai, we (obviously) have very hot summer temps which reduces the oxygen percentage in the air. When it gets to a certain level, people start to yawn more and I've even had it when it has hit the 50s that I've sort of 'panted' for 30 seconds or so just to try and get more 02 in.

Do you spend all day sat at a desk? If so take a tip form the smokers and get up for a quick stroll round the building every hour or two.

I'm exactly the same.

Green Tea will help especially as your weight training and no doubt taking extra protein on board.

It's horrible.

Check what you're eating through the day. Sugar, chocolate, coffee, white bread, white pasta, other refined carbs will give you that energy crash.

None of that tbh.

Porridge in the morning with whey protein and fruit juice
Pear or a banana
Wholegrain bagel with tuna
protein shake with mil
nuts

drink loads of water

Diets pretty good. and I'm 20... it doesn't add up

Might try and nail 8 hours of sleep consecutively for a few weeks..

Are you happy / motivated at work?

If the answer is no, that could well be symptomatic.

Used to get it in the office I worked in. Combination of the manager making the place too hot because she felt cold all the time, and that the work was st boring. Don't seem to get it now that my role is more engaging and that I can work from home.

I sometimes find myself panting in summer as well...
