Hi! I always feel sleepy at work. I try many things like drinking coffee, go to the cr, take a walk to the pantry, eat fruits like apple or oranges but they are not effective. I still feel sleepy. We are not allowed to take a nap in our workstation so I really need help. If you know some ways how to wake up yourself at the office, please share.

Try eating a candy so you wont get sleepy. Turn the music on if its allowed. How about drinking energy drinks, my friend do this and she has two jobs to attend to.

Our company is not that strict in displine so I can catch a nap when I feel so sleepy, especially in Summer. Have a good sleep at night will help you avoid such situation.

Hello meiliyeppuda, My previous job was very easy, I could compleletly finish the work before the noon, so all the afternoon I had nothing to do but feel sleepy, especially when the office was very quiet. I tried many methods like you do, walking, drinking, eating... but when I stopped, the sleepy hit again. But one day, I found this interesting website, I read the responsed the discussions one by one, improving my languge while enjoying fun. The sleepy kept away from me. So in my opinion, you should find something you are interested and make yourself busy, then you will not feel sleepy.
