    A 15 minute nap at lunchtime. Keep it to 15 minutes. Works every time.

          You know, if your coworkers grew accustomed to the sight of you wearing a drool bucket on a regular basis, you'd be able to get away with sleeping a little easier... Just a thought. ;P :-D

                I wouldn't recommend using caffeine in your eyes. It can be lethal in large doses. Just a thought. :)

                      Of course I drink coffee. However, I drink a lof of coffes, so, probably, there's a quite large amount of caffeine in my eyes. ;P

                              Take a walk, then get a cup of coffee.

                                  OK, instead of the coffee, take another walk.

                                      I paint blue circles on my eyelids and try not to snore.

                                      If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
