I have been having this problem. As a lot of things have been changing it's hard to tell what is causing it. Sometimes I feel worse after taking the naps, sometimes better. Things that I think might have an effect on daytime tiredness: sleep hygiene (screens, stress before going to bed), eating patterns (I think eating a lot for lunch makes me more tired), sugar consumption, caffeine, engagement of work, getting exercise regularly, getting some exercise when the tiredness hits vs taking the nap.

Siesta/afternoon naps are engrained in some cultures, and if it improves your quality of life and is compatible with your work expectations, I recommend continuing the practice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta

The trick is to keep it to a power nap, I set my alarm to no more than 40 mins in the future (extra time in case it takes time to doze off...)

Sometimes it's food. Sugar crash causes sleepiness.
