Suddenly sleepy. Tired, ready to doze off, and prone to staring blankly at the screen for minutes at a time. Coffee doesn't seem to have helped at all, still out of it. Want to sleeeep.
...snooze for a bit. I know it's not often possible for workers with bosses and colleagues and the like, but I always find putting my head down for 10 or 20 minutes does wonders. Being me, I'll get sleepy again half an hour later, but that's cos I sleep crap at night - you shouldn't find any such nastiness, I would hope :)
I mean, if there's a regular afternoon coffee break, you could skip coffee and put your head on your desk instead.
Our workplace is casual IT - so I could just snooze if I wanted. But equally, it's casual, we don't have set coffee breaks or anything, so if I spend twenty minutes snoozing, that's twenty minutes of work that doesn't get done. Mind you, a guy I worked with in IONA used to just crash out under his desk whenever he felt like it... the other problem is that I'm woozy for a good half hour after I wake up, regardless of how long I've been asleep.
