I've had the same issue and here is what worked for me. You might want to work on cutting back to zero caffeine, and work on drinking plenty of water and doing general diet improvement. If you're eating and drinking lots of sugar that can give you uneven energy levels throughout the day. Some grains like rice or toast in the morning for energy. Eating meals and/or snacks every 2-3 hours, and getting away from your screen for a mental break in the afternoon, combined with a healthy diet and some exercise cured me of my late afternoon sleepiness problem.
- wpietri 11y agoThis matches my experience. Kicking caffeine was a pain, and ditto for refined carbs. But off of those, my energy levels are very even throughout the day. I also have automated my house lights [1] so that they mimic a day-night cycle in brightness and color. Afternoon sleepiness is not a problem for me anymore.

- johnmaguire2013 11y agoI recently just quit caffeine (went down one drink a day for a week, then quit 7 days ago.) It's been a process getting my energy back. I have noticed that food affects me MUCH more than it used to. If I don't pay attention to what I eat now (or when I'm not eating, for that matter), I will end up feeling like crap. It's difficult because food isn't something I've focused on for years, thanks to caffeine masking my low energy.
