Does anyone else "nod off" in front of the computer?
My job is mainly computer-based and most days I have a phase (about an hour) when my head falls forward and I "nod off" for a second or so... colleagues say it's as tho I'm about to faint... this happens repeatedly for an hour or so, usually around 11am to 2pm, then by 4pm I'm fine and wide awake...
It's one of the symptoms which led to my recent (April) diagnosis of Type 2 and since I changed my diet (lo carb) and lost weight (22lbs!) there are some days when it hardly bothers me, others (like today!) when I really struggle... getting up from my desk for a quick walk (it's a big office) helps, and doing non-computer work, but it starts again when I return to the PC...
I've started to keep a diary of what I eat and when, plus how I fel during the day, hoping to pinpoint the trigger (apart from the computer!) but I wonder if anyone else has/has had this, and what do you do about it?
Thanks
