Burnout | Productivity drops at THIS time of day

It’s natural throughout the day for workers to feel less productive at certain points, as keeping concentration and plugging away at work for eight hours straight isn’t realistic. However, when exactly are employees facing the biggest slump in energy?

Research has discovered that this slump takes place at 1.29pm, the time when most workers are likely to feel a dip in energy levels.

In a study of 2,000 adults currently working from home, it found that more than one-third are doing longer hours now than before the lockdown began in March. Due to this, it was revealed that more than half suffer from low energy levels by lunchtime.

The poll, which was carried out by Swisse Me, found that 58% of women are more likely to feel less energised compared to 44% of men during the day. But it seems that 18 to 24-year-olds are suffering from an afternoon slump the most, as two-thirds cited that they experienced low energy levels, compared to 39% of over 55s.
