cool anecdotal evidence. that doesn't necessarily mean we should completely dismiss the concept entirely.

Feeling a slump early afternoon after midday meal is not anecdotal evidence, it's biology.

edit: At least, it's a common issue that people have . A simple google search for "afternoon slump" reveals tons of related articles and suggestions to address it.

Besides, those who feel otherwise likely don't give sufficient context. Such as, likely that they work from home. Or that they run their business so they can work afternoons and like to get up at 11 AM everyday. The article is talking about "staff" at "companies".

Note for later, "evidence" for the afternoon slump:

> "The so-called “window of circadian low” — the hours when the body is least adapted for wakefulness — typically occurs between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. There’s another, smaller dip 12 hours later, in the midafternoon."
