I give myself a sugar boost, like chocolate that will give me a rush and wake me up, or start walking around the office, or getting some fresh air. Fresh air is wonderful for waking you up and revitalizing you. It works for me, if you sit still and do the same thing for hours then you will quickly get sleepy and bored so you need to do something else and build up the body's energy levels.

I have never been sleepy in the afternoon, i usually keep myself busy so i won't be sleepy... but.. i have always been sleepy when i am in night shift. that is aound 3am in the am. its forgivable that i feel sleepy at that time. Its really a bit late already... and yes, my boss does let me sleep for a while.. about 30 minutes and we will close the lights a bit and will take a break. :) he he

hi julyteen! i also get sleepy around that time at the office. i even get sleepy at mornings if there's no work to be done and while i'm reading newspapers. ^__^;; i don't usually sleep during lunchbreak so that adds to the sleepiness after lunch. but at times, even if i sleep during lunchbreak, i would still feel sleepy after an hour. what i do is i get up from my seat and i go to other departments and have a chat with some of my friends or just take a walk inside the office. i might drink a cup of coffee but that isn't really effective to me. so i prefer to take a walk and chat with officemates.

I usually take a break of about 30 minutes for coffee or just walk around the office. If I am really sleepy and can't help it, I just go over to the mall which is just right across our office and walk for about 15-30 minutes to do away with my sleepiness. Most of the time it works. If not, I will just log in to mylot. he he he!

Hello dear julyteen. I usually take a nap after 12:30 or 12:50 at noon and will get up at about 1:15 p.m to get ready to go to the office. I do not take a long nap unless it is my day off. If I do not take a nap, I will feel very tired and sleepy in the office for the afternoon work. A short nap is a must for me. Now it is almost time for me now because it is 12:22 at noon. Wish me to have a good nap, dear julyteen, and the same to you. lol

I don't work in the office I'm a full time mom but I work here in my computer usually after lunch. I do experience to be sleepy in that time and for me to be awake I took a cup of coffee and I listen to my favorite dance music so while typing and working here in my computer I sway my body like dancing.

When I get sleepy like that I usually try to get up and move around. Go to the bathroom, step outside for abit. Sometimes just those simple things are just enough to help revitalize so you can carry on with your work.

that's also a good idea my friend. if you sit and do your work without any attempt to revitalize your body you will find later on you sleep already. LOL. anyway, thanks for the comment Dee!

At work when i get sleepy i open the outside door to let some air inside if its warm enough. I'll volunteer to walk to get the mail. I find something different to do..maybe turn on some music, have a cup of tea.
