Why does nobody talk about the 3PM energy crash

Used to roll out of the office dead on my feet, dreading the 8 mile ride home on 5th Ave. Three years ago I started eating a banana and a handful of almonds at my desk around 2:30, every single day. Last month I skipped that snack twice because of back to back meetings, and both days I nearly hit a curb from pure fog. Anyone else got a weird pre-ride snack ritual that keeps them sharp, or am I the only one running my commute on fruit and nuts?

Nah, the crash is just your body telling you to slow down, and you're papering over it with a snack instead of actually fixing your sleep or your lunch. You'd probably ride sharper if you ate a real meal at noon and skipped the 2:30 sugar spike, not the other way around.
