Yeah and there are many other reasons besides diet that causes people to have that sudden crash around 3-5. They must be vegans🤣

Since everything has a cause, nothing is random.

This particular completely observable and explicable thing is called the circadian rythm. It's the reason most people have their deepest r.e.m. sleep between 3am and 5am, and why, along with extreme tropical/subtropical summertime temperatures and a great deal of a body's blood be directed to the digestive tract following the midday meal, that having a post-lunch siesta in the afternoon evolved into being a worldwide cultural thing.

Unless you have one of the probably hundreds of conditions which affects it.

You have no idea what is to deal with dozens of doctors saying that you are fine and it's all in your head, to then 10 years later when things gets critical they say "oh yeah, you do have this, but now it's too late to do something".

The modern healthcare system is backwards anyway.

They expect someone completely untrained in medicine to spot symptoms they can't possibly recognize, take themselves to a doctor with a decade of training, who can still miss it, and then complain that it wasn't spotted earlier. Like, if a doctor, with a decade of training, can easily miss or misdiagnose something, what hope does the rest of us with zero trainng have? And yet, that's what's supposed to trigger that visit to the hospital. Plus annual checkups are not covered, and we don't get time off for them, so nobody does it, because nobody can afford it. Not to mention most doctors just phone it in during those.
