Eat healthy. Seriously, the fatigue is almost-always due to crashing blood sugar. Very rarely are we working hard enough to actually be mentally exhausted (like those 4hr physics exams in school).

Eat healthy != whole grains and carbs. Eat veggies and protein. Balance your blood sugar through the day and you'll 100% better.

Anecdote, but still - ketosis in combination w/ resistance training and solid sleep made me increase my productivity by 85% for the past ~8 months. To be honest, this discovery is probably one of the best things in my life. However, I would emphasis on "eat healthy fats and veggies".
Great anecdote.

I'm playing with ketosis/fasting at the moment. Right I now am waiting to eat till early afternoon and then grazing the rest of the day. I still find I need to refocus sometime between 3-5. Trying a caffeine-nap seems like a good thing to explore for me.
