I also drink a lot of water when I feel sleepy but I seldom drink coffee because It will not keep me awake the more that I feel sleepy. I also take a walk or perform a light exercise or do some office errands to keep me awake.

I don’t drink coffee- not ever- I can’t get past the taste of it- I do drink a Coke in the daytime- Usually with lunch- I am pretty sure it’s a proven fact that caffeine does not help keep you awake- as in drinking coffee when you are tired- I know the Coke seems to get me going though- I do drink plenty of ice water throughout the day- It curbs the appetite and refreshes me- Makes me feel woke up!

I do the same when im sleepy after lunch. Though i avoid coffee because its not so good to make it a habbit. I prefer water or juice. Have you tried apple juice, it works for me at times and also ice tea helps wake me up. Before i suggest to wash their face but then i soon find out that what im doing was bad because the nerves on our face are tired and sleepy its not good to suddenly splash cold water on it. If you have lukewarm/warm water then thats ok. Hope it helps. :)

I think lately because of the hot weather, it makes me very sleepy. I will have a short time nap at noon because I really feel so tired. Frankly, it's not commone for me. There may be something wrong with me.

I used to take a nap after lunch. But now since I am home having my summer vacation, teaching my son English, I make tea every day in the morning and keep drinking. I feel strange to find how energetic and awake I am from drinking the tea. Also I am relaxed from my real work on campus. I don't have to think about it and I feel quite good about having a really good vacation at home.

Drink coffee affect their health, I rarely drink it, I like tea,In fact not necessarily to drink coffee refreshing,better lie on the table and a break,only a few minutes will also play a very good role...

You may be addicted to caffein. I love the taste of coffee, but I do not rely on it to stay awake. I wake up, make sure I'm awake, and drink coffee as one of my daily pleasures. I no more drink coffee to wake up than I drink straight vodka to relax. In both cases the drinks taste good.
