Avoid things like lettuce...that are known to make you sleepy.
I didn't know that! What's in lettuce? Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson

I take a 20 min "power" nap at the end of lunch whenever possible. I stay alert until the end of the work day (going home wakes me up pretty well, too). My work discourages people from napping at work, even on their lunch break, so I showed my boss that some of the bigger bosses (director's and VP's) do it and I would quit taking power naps if he told them to quit taking power naps. I have my naps during lunch when I can. Good luck on staying awake :zzz:

Don't eat food that'd normally feed a group of 3, then you won't feel that sleepy :rolleyes: Regards, Nish

Wow - I didn't know this - though I suspected this when I didn't see her there for a while. That explains things then. :eek: Regards, Nish

Sorry I love that wiki parody. Anyway there was an article in Reader's Digest several years back addressing the issue of naps in the workplace. They described a study in which productivity was measured between the control and workers who got a 1 hour nap after lunch. The workers with the nap were more productive.

Welcome to the real world! you are human :-D I've heard that somewhere in Asia I think, the people use to sleep 1 hour after lunch. Well in most of countries this doesn't happen, so u gotta work if u are asleep or not. I suggest comfortable job place, I mean a good chair and good temperature room (19ºC - 21ºC) One kind of suggestion: try reducing amount of food at lunch! :laugh: I use keyboard and a mouse... or are they using me?
