We've all seen the old commercials for 5 hour energy right? That 2:30 in the afternoon feeling. After all these years they had their timing off. Or was it false advertising? Can we get a class action suit because we all got tired a half hour earlier then we were supposed to? Like all science, the answers are ever changing. A new study has discovered that 3pm is the daily time we feel the most lethargic.
We're most tired Tuesdays at 3pm. Why Tuesday? It doesn't say, but maybe it's because the high of the weekend has completely worn off and the next weekend isn't yet in sight? Depending on how old you are and if you still like to party it up on the weekend it might still be a hangover that has you feeling fried by 3pm on Tuesday.
According to a study by Second Nature Snacks, a whopping 74% of people who responded go through some sort of slump during their day. The main reason being lack of caffeine at that point in a person's day. 56% of people need more caffeine. If you find your job boring or draining your energy, that can lead to your slump. 53% of people responding also claimed those two as a reason for their slump.
During a slump the study found that within 15 minutes people were turning to food to help give them some energy. Top food choices were some type of nuts or trail mix, followed by pretzels and chips. There are a few things that people can try to get out of their afternoon slump. Get up and walk around for a bit, get the blood flowing. Take a break or catch a quick snooze if you're able to at your desk. The get up and walk around always seems to be the best option. If you've got that 3pm feeling, get away from your desk. Go bother somebody in the work place who also has that 3pm feeling. Make it a thing, your most tired Tuesdays hangout.
These 10 Classic Rock Songs are ‘Scientifically Proven’ to Induce Sleep
Having a hard time sleeping but can't stand the sound of silence? (And no, we don't mean the Simon & Garfunkel classic.) Perhaps you should create a playlist with these ten classic rock songs that have been scientifically proven to induce sleep.
The folks over at Mornings.co.uk -- a website that reviews the best mattresses, pillows and beds suited for quality sleep -- created a study to determine which songs best emulate some of the most popular lullabies.
How did they do this? Per the Mornings' study, "We analyzed 100 lullabies on Spotify using 10 audio features such as tempo and scale (major or minor). And then we compared our results to a curated list of 1,721 songs, including Spotify’s most streamed and essential tunes from a range of genres."
So, which classic rock songs most resemble the features found in the most popular lullabies? Scroll below to see the top ten, while the entire study with additional song breakdowns can be found here.
10. John Lennon - 'Imagine'
"Imagine" is the title track off of Lennon's classic 1971 album. Since its release, it has been an anthem for peace. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
9. Eagles - 'Desperado'
"Desperado" is one of the Eagles' most iconic tracks. It's been covered by a number of artists, including Clint Black and Diana Krall. However, most would argue the definitive cover was recorded by Linda Ronstadt. (In fact, some might argue Ronstadt's cover is also the definitive version, but that's another conversation for another day.)
8. The Police - 'Every Breath You Take'
Sure, it's a song about obsessing over a lover, but even decades later, it's so good! Perhaps, just ignore the creepy stalker vibes of this classic, and just let the melody wash over you.
7. Lou Reed - 'Walk On the Wild Side'
One of Lou Reed's best solo songs, it seems almost quaint that "Walk On the Wild Side" was once considered to be eyebrow-raising. Fun fact: "Walk On the Wild Side" was a double A-side with "Perfect Day," which is another dreamy classic.
6. Jackson Browne - 'The Load Out'
An ode to a concert road crew, "The Load Out" is featured on Browne's classic 1977 album Running On Empty. The track wasn't initially released as a single, but it grew in popularity thanks to the song being played on the radio.
5. Pink Floyd - 'Wish You Were Here'
One of Pink Floyd's most moving songs, "Wish You Were Here" is both a classic in their catalog and in rock, period. It's mellow melody surely is the reason why it landed on this list.
4. The Beatles - 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight'
The "Golden Slumbers" portion of this song was literally inspired by a lullaby. Frankly, imagining "Golden Slumbers" without "Carry That Weight" just seems wrong, hence why it was likely included here.
3. Elton John - 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters'
"Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" was never released as a single, but it's among Sir Elton's most beloved tracks. The song gained new life after it was included in the 2000 film Almost Famous. Additionally, John performed a moving rendition of the song at the 9/11 tribute show The Concert for New York City.
2. Led Zeppelin - 'Going to California'
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest hard rock bands every, but they sure did know how to write a ballad. "Going to California" is one of their best and one of their dreamiest.
1. Elton John - 'Your Song'
It's a little bit funny just how much we adore this classic. Considering the criteria of this study, we definitely don't mind it being number one.
