Are you pregnant? Happened to me every day at work when I was. I'd put my head down on my desk and take a little nap. Seriously. My boss would tell anyone who walked by that I was 'incubating'.
For real though, you should give the book "
YOU, On a Diet" a browsing. It's not a 'diet' book so much as a biology lesson about how our digestive system works in concert with our brains through hormonal signals, and how the food we put into us affects that balance.
I suspect, like Griff, that your current levels of stress combined with less than ideal diet is giving you that 1:00 slump. This book does a wonderful job explaining the hormones and cycles that they go through depending on your emotions/stress/sleep/diet and how your waist and energy levels are thusly affected.
It's backed by the Discovery channel, and I personally found nothing to question in it. I am in the process of trying to get the whole family on a better diet using the stuff I learned in it.
Good luck!
