Use case

Find what is crashing your energy

Normal helps identify the meals, sleep debt, timing, stress, caffeine, or routines that reliably precede low-energy periods.

When this helps

Use this when you crash every afternoon, wake up tired, have no energy on certain days, or feel inconsistent despite trying the obvious fixes.

The goal is to find the specific cause for your body, not a generic productivity tip.

What Normal looks for

Normal compares your low-energy days with your better days and looks for differences in food, sleep, caffeine, movement, and stress.

Example energy pattern

crashed at 2pm again
what did you have before it?
oats, coffee, then a big wrap for lunch.
this is the fifth crash after a high-carb lunch plus morning coffee.
on protein-heavy lunch days, your afternoon energy is steadier.
i thought i just needed more caffeine
caffeine is covering the signal.
your pattern is earlier in the day.

What this means

Energy crashes usually have a trail.

Normal compares the days you crash with the days you do not, so the answer comes from your actual routine instead of another generic energy hack.
