    That’s an interesting one. What’s the connection between snacks and tiredness? Asking because I have a massive sweet tooth (which leads to constant snacking) and feel tired a lot, despite not really doing much physical or mental labour (work suspended).

      IIUC at least one of the mechanism is that an abrupt spike in blood sugar causes spike in insulin production to process it which overshoots in removing the sugar meaning you may dip to lower sugar levels than prior to eating.
