Well, I'm actually a call center agent...and in the closing shift at that. So when we don't have calls, I sleep in my station. hehe!

I usually take a break and play a nice game or something. I don't really drink much cola as I am afraid of the calories. If playing a game on the computer doesn't help, then I get up and walk around a bit.

Cafenine, physical activity (move around your desk or to a new environment if your a freelancer like me). Of course, one of the biggest advantages of being a freelancer (God knows it's not the $) is getting to take a break or a nap whenever you want, as long as you make the deadline.

i tend to be staring at the computer for a long period of time and i find that this makes me sleepy. to combat this, i get up and walk around and get a drink from the fountain in the hall. sometimes i will stick my head outside to get some cool air.

I don't have that experience, so I don't know what will I do, maybe I am sleep well recently at night, but I am sure I am not going to sleep in the office. I think walking around is a really good option. I will do that when I feel drowsy, haha.

I feel drowsy sometimes too. It is really tough to work when the eyes are getting close.So to get rid of the sleepy feeling I do take a cup of hot coffee. I take three to four cups of coffee a day.Apart from it I hear music specially of genre punk or rock. Cola sounds a bit strange. I had never tried it out.

When I feel sleepy at work then I just load a game which I love to play and then iam no more very sleepy at work, After the game I can work back to normal again,so always keep a game in your laptop at work.

Well I have a couple of different things that I do/mixed around during the week. One of them is taking a 5-10 minute walk outside the office to get some fresh air. Sometimes I talk on the cellie and walk at the same time on my breaks. If I can't leave my desk for some odd reason, I take sips of cold water - maybe twice every five minutes or so until i feel awake again. Sometimes, the sips of water lasts all day! Hehehehe....

I will stop my work for a while . I do stretching arms, legs and any parts of the body, bending,and jumping. Go to comfort room do some retouch of make ups , seeing face in mirror and inhale ,exhale. After that energy comes again with you and sleepiness goes out.
