Ask the Readers: How Do You Fight the Afternoon Slump?

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Lauren, April, and Jodi for winning this week's contest!

Many people start the day high on energy, but when afternoon hits, they feel sleepy, tired, and sluggish. There are a number of ways to avoid it (like getting enough sleep or eating a protein-filled lunch), and to power through it when it strikes (like doing stretches or chewing some spicy gum).

How do you fight the afternoon slump? Is there a method that always works for you — or a common tip that never works for you?
