emptying my bottle of red wine usually does the trick. Some say having a wife that nags to you is a good alternative too but mine is no longer awake from ten o'clock on so I have never been able to try this tip out.
windrei
stand up and go to wash the face, or go to have a tea.

but if i cannot leave at that moment, i may hit myself~
wistom
yeah that's right.
drink some tea
and washing face or standing up do some sports and so on.

I usually have a good breakfast, wash my face, and make sure I always get a good night's sleep.

Having coffee could help I suppose.
gamingzone
drik something like tea or coffee.
When it came more and more i think you better should go to the doctor.
nhl4000

Innovative! Are there any scientific assumption or logic? e.g. vitimin C would anti -sleepy? Laughing
darrell

greekcovers
I just wash my face and drink a Nescafe coffee, the best coffee in Greece (frape !!!) It keeps you awake all day!!!! Very Happy

Get proper sleep the night before.
If you stay up late and try to burn the candle at both ends it is a fact that you will get sleepy at work. Proper rest, proper diet and exersise will improve anyone's enegry.
SharKay
Well as I see it most eveyone should have clean faces. Laughing

My thoughts are if your at work and you get tired and being tired at work makes your work performance go down hill. Is that fair to your boss, who pays you to work for them. If you have a job you should be more dedicated to it and get proper rest the night before. If your tired at school and tired at work and it is not from a late night before..or due to not eating right, then you should take vitamins.

More coffee is not the answer. Of course washing the face is always a good thing...lol

Our bodies are usualy trying to tell us something...learn to listen to your body...when your hungry you eat...when your tired sleep...go to bed early...drink less...to many simulants will keep your body wanting to go on...drugs....booze...caffiene...think about it....
mexi
I do 12 hrs shift and nights and what i would do is close my eyes on my break and chill out cause the drive home can be a real fright if u start dosing off..

also try eating an apple it works better than coffee as a stimulant
or get someone to throw a bucket of ice water over your head ..lol
johnabraham
for me the best solution is to take 10 mins off and surf the web, prolly read abt something i like in sports or so...or talk to someone...that wakes me up...they say when u laugh, that helps u stay awake...so if u have some colleagues who are in the same situation, take a coffee break and tell some jokes or funny incidents and that should work for all of you'll, else find some funny stuff on the net...
mexi
i pretty much do that all day anyway so it eventually just gets boring...

i remember when i first started in this place there was a rumour of a girl who started working but she couldnt get the concept of working night and was fully convinced that she slept during the night shift and was asking where the beds where..lol

she was eventually found asleep under one of the desks downstairs and never came back the folloeing day ...how retarded can u get Laughing
Nameless
If I am sleepy and I am supposed to be working... if possible I will take a short nap and go to bed earlier that night, or if not I will just try and ignore my sleepyness and go to bed earlier that night. I don't like coffee, and I think other people would look at you funny if you suddenly slapped yourself!
threezeroone
I will get my pillow and go somewhere comfortable and I will sleep.
irish_18
try to drink some coffee or tea. they're right. you can wash your face everytime you feel sleepy. It can help. I do that when i was studying Wink
rk2010
I just drink a lot of coffee and hope i stay up ... or you could take some aderal.. which also helps during finals week
Marston
Just go to sleep - who cares if you lose your job? Sleeping is clearly more important. Sleeping will never tell you your butt looks big in those tight leather pants. Sleeping will always be there for you (unless you have insomnia). Sleeping is always good for you, no matter how much of it you have. Sleeping is also a great way to earn income from home.

Do you masturbate? If you do then stop it, masturbation causes sleepiness and fatigue.
Ohsakm
you can drink tea or coffee, hit yourself (that's stupid but work), and wash your face.

I think these are the best things to do. Very Happy

Haha. I like this one because I AM the boss. So my answer would be:

Go back in my office, tell everyone to hold my calls, and put my head down on my desk ......... as a matter of fact, that sounds like a good idea right about now Wink

I think that if you are sleepy at work that you don't rest enough during the night. Maybe you go to bed at different times. Then late, then early, etc. Try to stick to the same time, and not too late of course. Everybody has different needs of sleep in the night, some need 4 hours some 10. But try to find out how much you need. Don't drink coffee, tea or anything else with cafeine in the night. Better a glass of hot milk or anything. Try to get into the rythm. Maybe there is a tv program that you watch and after that you can get to bed, that would be excelent. Try to eat healthy, fat food makes that you don;t have enough energy. What also helps is sporting in the night. Not too late, because then your heartbeat is still too fast when you are in your bed. Maybe it helps Wink

You have a bath at work? Because that's what the topic is.

And yeah, everone's saying what they would do at home. Note that the topic is what you do when you're at work.

Anyway, I don't work yet (applying for a job at Dicksmith, Safeway and Coles), so I'm gonna say what I do at school. I ask to go to the toilet, have a drink, and then milk my walk back to the classroom.
bigdan
I'd get up, have a walk around, have something to eat or drink, have a stretch.

If that doesn't work, I pack it in and doze off if I have the chance Razz
windval
i will use a pen to punch myself.......

or i will go to sleep
shwetanshu
i probably sleep
nunosilva
start to listen to music and start moving around here and there, wash my face, my ears to give me the chills all over the body, and a few slaps in my face... coffee doesn't work on me, neither tea... lol
April_May
Try sucking on some ice. A cold drink can wake you up and re energise you.
Neo7
Mountain Dew seems to work well for staying awake as well...or just get up and walk about for a few minutes
blackstripes
cold water... usually it's the heat the makes you so tired and sleepy... wash ur face with some cold water, it should wake keep you up for awhile... then if you feel tired again just repeat it.
amusic
If i get sleepy, then i will get up and start to play computer games. I will not be sleepy anymore. Razz

When you get sleepy after eating it means your lazy! hhehehe. joke. I suggest you try eating small meals. If you eat too much more than your body could digest in a single meal. Your digestion tends to slow down and you would feel heavy and drowsy. Try eating five small meals a day instead of three large meals this will make your digestion better. If you still feel sleepy after that softdrinks like coke has caffeine content which could awaken you.

Ask a doctor for advice, they understand the human body better than most. beyond that.....
- train your mind. when you notice that you are becoming bored set a timeframe for concentraiting and apon reaching it reward yourself in some way. Only if you were able to actualy force yourself to concentrate. if you find that you cant force yourself to concentrate you may be overestimating your present ablities. negative reinforcement (make yourself suffer) gives quicker results but will not last long. Like a slap in the face while you are driving. you wake up but will soon be drifting again.
-keep the oxygen flowing. if you feel that you are going to yawn take deep breaths instead. yawning will actualy make you more tired and serves the same purpose for your body as deep breath. also vatamine C is used by your body to help move oxygen around, it works best with food.
-sleepyness after lunch. alot of this has to do with what you eat. some foods are harder to digest than others and so will draw blood away from the rest of your body. unfortunatly these are usualy also the foods that will make you feel fullest. If you have the option try to eat small snacks throughtout the day rather than meals, it is better for your matabalism and you will avoid taxing your bodys reserves for digestion. also B vitamins are shown to aid your matabolism. if you are taking large amounts of B vitamins you will likely also need extra magnisium in your diet as they work together.
-dont get stiff. learn to figet and stretch. focus your eyes to the distance and from side to side regularly, dont let yourself stare at something up close for too long.
-your environment makes a difference too. beleive it or not color makes a difference in your behavior. notice that fast food chains like the color red. that's because the color read makes you want to move and be active, green makes you relaxed. white will make you alert but is not particularly good for any job that requires you to come up with inovative ideas. black is the oposite. it helps you to think deeply but also makes you tired. I dont realy like the color enof to suround myself with it but yellow causes you to be upbeat and active and seems to be the best one for office and manufacturing work.
-sound does it too. music will help you concentrate, provided it is in the background. static and repedative sounds will put you to sleep. sometimes you dont even notice they are there. like the whirl of your computers fan or the sound of the central air.
-stay cool. warmth will put you to sleep, stay cool. I knew a trucker who would wear shorts all winter with the heat turned off in his truck to avoid falling asleep between coffee shops. That is a bit extreem but it worked.
-finaly, unless something else pops into my head, dont over do it. your body will give you so much before it says that's enof. use all things in moderation you dont want to over do any of them. being alert taxes you other wise you wouldnt need to sleep. know when to use your energy and when to relax. but dont get so relaxed you cant come back out of it, that will get you fired.
-ok, realy the last one. exercise in your off time. being in good shape is very very important. I guarentee it.
-last last one. make sure you are getting as much sleep as you need. be on a schedule. I need 4-6hr my wife needs 8-10, my best friend has a sleeping disorder that causes him to stop breathing for short times while he sleeps. he never feels rested.

usually I'm going to sleep right away, other than that, I try throwing some cold water on my face or drinking some Pepsi or do something not booring(usually something on the computer).
Itachi
my advice would be get a good night sleep and if that doesnt help take an egg timer with you to work and take a short power nap on your break trust me they help alot.

Actually, what I do when I get sleepy is a go around and roundhouse kick people. It's an amazingly manly thing to do, and, it helps you attain near Chuck Norris-ness.

Chuck Norris is a pretty tight dude.

Go to sleep Neutral
works at my place Neutral

And since that doesn't work at most places, try just hiding under your desk and putting a sticky note on it that says you went to the copy machine Neutral

Your overuse of the Neutral smiley is making me... sleepy.

Things to say if you are caught sleeping at work:

1) You are taking one of those 15 minute power-naps that are supposed to increase employee productivity.

2) They told me at the blood bank this might happen.

3) Whew! I guess I left the top off the white-out again, you got here just in time.

4) I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the misson statement and envisioning a new paradigm.

5) I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance.

6) I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminating against people who do Yoga?

7) Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.

8 ) The coffee machine is broken...

9) Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot!

And the best thing to say if caught sleeping:
10) Slowly lift your head and say "In Jesus' name, Amen"

This doesn't really work for individual days, but work exercise into your daily schedual. It will make you generally more awake and energetic. Sometimes I get lazy and stop exercising but then I just become really lax and mop around. But when I get into a good exercise schedual I have more energy to get through the day.
