Depends what time of day it is where you are and how much longer your workday is. If you haven't had lunch yet, use your break to take a nap in your car. If you've already eaten, see if you can find a way to get up and take a walk; drink very cold water; find something that needs cleaning or organizing.

Can you find a spray gun anywhere that you can put clean cold water in? just occasionally light spray will help. Also if you can open a window near you that will let in clean air, not if you are in a pollution zone though, it will make it worse. Find excuses to ring people as when you are talking you are occupied and its easier to stay alert. Go for walks about the building if you can and talk to people, after all 'networking' is good and both will help. Don't sit in front of the computer for long as nothing on the planet is more likely to send you to sleep. Turn down the heat if it is on. Warm means sleepy and when you make it to the end of your shift, if you drove in ,take a Bus or Taxi home. Please don't drive if you are that tired, people get hurt doing that and can hurt others without meaning to. Take care of yourself and try and get some sleep tonight. Good Luck (you have probably guessed that we have been there too and these things worked for us)

Hey sweety... I would suggest running errands or anything that would keep you not in your chair..
Orange juice is really good and can wake you up. Also Try some peanut butter on some toast...
I know you are at work... But maybe you have some bread and stuff in the break room..
I would probably get an Espresso Doubleshot from Starbucks or your local convienent store.....
Well sweety I hope you make it throught your day not falling asleep; or if you fall asleep I hope you don't get caught..... lol

Try an energy drink they really work. Also eating an apple is probably better than drinking two cups of coffee.

Sure, get up and dance, then drink some more coffee. Then take a 10 minute break and run outside to get some fresh air.
GOod luck.

omg! I'm at work and I can't stop yawning! I wish I had something to do. Can you get something from the vending machine?
