After lunch it's the mind that slows down. We usually blame the food.

00:37.410 --> 00:44.047
A heavy lunch deepens it, but the drop was coming anyway. It was already written into the day.

00:45.011 --> 00:52.102
The afternoon dip is not the lunch's fault. If you drive at that time of day, plan for it.
