    ..sleeping at work? :) Particularly in the afternoon , after lunch, and when you just got above 35 years old. :zzz: I play a couple of games on my phone for few minutes, drink a glass of water & get back. :cool:

          When I could, I would go find some physical work to do such as organizing a network closet or a storeroom. About 15-30 minutes of activity would do the trick and wake me up plus I was still getting some work done. To bad I can't do that with the current job so I have to fall back on lots of coffee.

              It's usually the other way around. I might fall asleep in front of my monitors, becoming aware of it when I awaken. As an extremely morning person, this is always an afternoon event. I get few visitors and so I suppose no one every notices.

                    If convenient, I go home and take a nap. Otherwise, a cup of tea or a Coke.

                        Just as an aside - The surest way to stay awake via nice steaming hot cup of tea or coffee is to spill it on your lap. (120% effective)

                                I had the same issue until I found out I was diabetic, and the carb accumulation for the day was knocking me out in the afternoons/early evenings. but, I suspect your issue is just casual sleepiness? Been to a doctor lately? Edit: not taking into consideration, general diet and exercise, etc.

                                  Years ago, when I was only 50, I bought a high back chair to the office so I can lay back and have a snooze after lunch. I like my power nap although the young whipper snappers are starting to call it my nanna nap.

                                    I take a nap at the desk absolutely ignoring what other might think or say. Days when I come by car, I go to car and sleep. Generally it takes 10-15 minutes of nap to get active again. There is anyways no point in me being sleepy and trying to be awake as I will anyways not be able to accomplish anything. I find it wrong to make body work when it is already signalling it needs rest to recover.

                                      I have a room where I go to sleep when I need too. It's out of the way and so far I have not been noticed.

                                        Best advice I've heard for that moment you boss catches you napping is to raise your head and say "Amen"

                                          ..sleeping at work? :) Particularly in the afternoon , after lunch, and when you just got above 35 years old. :zzz: I play a couple of games on my phone for few minutes, drink a glass of water & get back. :cool:

                                          I sleep for 8-10 minutes. That's usually enough to cure the zombiefication. If I sleep 20, when I wake it is disappointing to find that I am at work. Before my thyroid issue got fixed I would get profoundly tired mid-day. Once, I fell asleep at the keyboard and awoke to find my finger on r. I had pages of the letter r in my documentation.
