I am so sleepy now. I have not able to sleep well for straight three nights. Currently I am in office, really hard to keep my eyes open. Here I am in Mylot to try to find a solution. I wonder what way do you keep yourself awake when you are so sleepy and rather stay in the bed instead of waking up to go to school and work. I always have a container of sweet which is ready for me when I needed it. I used to read that some glucose will make you awake for your job. So, how do you overcome your tiredness?

If I am sleepy at work, that would mean i should take a coffee break! I do my own coffee, and one cup is enough already to perk me up. I could also take that break to walk around, or talk to my colleagues. Just ask them how they are doing for the days, simple talks like that. Not only that I was able to take a break, i got a cup of coffee, and be able to converse and connect with my officemates, all at the same time. This short break is enough for me to be able to re-charge a little, and then back to work shortly after.

Go to the washroom and wash your face with cold water and then get a strong cup of coffee and you will be refreshed. If that doesnt really work get a few minutes of nap and ask you collegue/frens to suprise you while waking you up. That way you wont get sleepy again

Hello cocooreo. If I feel very tired, I know that I will be very ineffective in my work and study. Then I will drink some tea or make some coffee to keep me wide awake for some other work that does not need too much of my mind. Or I will leave to sleep on bed or lean over the office table for a little while. This is what I do. Good day.

I'll leave my desk and drink a cup of tea or coffee. Tea in my region is the best choice. I'll probably stretch my arms and legs a little. If have have time i'll surely take a nap and rest away my tiredness.

if i feel sleepy, i take time to take a nap (because i was home) or if I am working on something that needs to be done, that i need to keep myself awake, coffee works best for me. if coffee doesn't work, i do a little walk or chat around.

Wash my face, drink some coffee just walking around. If that doesn't work it time to take a fast nap. It's better to doze off for a few minutes rather than trying to open our eyes and feel sloppy. After a few minutes I always feel fresh again.
