i think all of us ever have the experience of feeling sleepy a lots in the middle of work. so i just wondering what kind tips that you have to overcome it?
do you take a break a while and leave your desk? or taking a glass coffee then back to your work? or anything else?
for me, i will take a glass of cool water and visiting mylot for a while before i back to my work. perhaps about 10 or 15 minutes and so far it works well with me.
how about you then?

sometimes i feel like dozing off after lunch. or if i'm done with my work and have some free time then i really do feel like sleeping. but i guess that's not an option haha. most of the time listening to music and chatting with friends help me get thru it so i won't feel so sleepy anymore. sometimes if i really cannot stand it i'll just clothes my eyes for a while hehe.

What I would do when I am sleepy at work is to stand up from my chair, stretch out!!! walk around, look at the green things outside and drink a glass or 2 glasses of water. Standing and walking around for few minutes would help a lot. some other times, talking to friends with funny topics would help overcome being sleepy at work.

I will probably have a cup of coffee or go out for a small walk for ten mins.

It is very strange that sometimes the coffee doesn't help me for me to get away the sleepy feeling. However, I may become sleepless at night in the bedtime. Sometimes I will go to the lady's room and close my eyes for a while. Then I will be back to work again.

Well; sometimes I too do feel sleepy in the middle of work .
However;too much of it is not good.One way could be take a re-look at our sleeping patterns .Sleep properly at Night .
Or take Tea or Coffee sometimes to counter the sleep .
Short walks also do help .

Cold water is good and also a little walk around. Actually I am a bit sleep right now and have quite a few e-mails to dispatch before bedtime, so I got one of my favorite pick-me-ups:
A few ice cubes in a glass and pour over that 1/3 seltzer water, 1/3 lemon soda, and 1/3 lemon soda. That is what I am drinking now.

I am not sure about if i would get sleepy in the middle of work. For me, I have to look directely onto the computer screen for almost eight hours. Because i have so many things to do, i haven't even much time to feel sleepy. i usually take a short walk outside our office building. But the warm sunshine often put me into a sleepy position until i am back to the computer.

Yes, I do especially when I am in graveyard shift. I fell asleep in the middle of my work for about 30 minutes. My co-workers woke me up lolz.

It's the same to me,I would be sleepy especially after lunch,usually I'd like to sleep a while.But when I'm working,I tend to do something else or have some snack,and this can change our mind to another.Later I will recover my energy.

yes, definitely we have that experience at least once in our lives. for me, i too take a glass of water too clear my head. but what works for me best is when i go and wash my face especially my eyes. i feel more alert then. just splashing my face with water and wiping it gives me a fresh feeling and it's enough to keep me awake.

I always have the same experience. However, i think i am a little bit lucky.
Because, one of my workmates is a attractvie beauty. When i am tired during my work
, i am going to talk to that girl. it is amzing.
