British Jesuit Father Bernard Basset, noted author, lecturer, and retreat-master, discusses the problem of the "Noonday Devil" of discouragement and spiritual sloth (acedia) that is often encountered during the middle age of our lives.

The "noonday devil" is the same creature that Katleen Norris confronts in her book Acedia. It is the sense of sloth, hopelessness and meaninglessness that faces many of us, even those who have been actively religious, in middle age. While some of his references and language are dated, the book (so far) offers encouragement. I am only in the third chapter.
