How can I stop myself falling asleep in the afternoon?

Get up, and take an invigorating walk after lunch. Have an apple and get back to work.

Gee, you need to get up and get some exercise. I don't mean just getting up from the computer and going to the kitchen or the bathroom. I mean get up and go for a BRISK walk or a run. (And I mean BRISK walk---put your butt into it). Then you can come back refreshed to do some more work. A lot of people who work from home (not everyone--so don't get mad) tend to really get out of shape. They don't get any exercise and they are so close to their own kitchen that they eat and eat and gain and gain. So, back away from the computer. Right now. Go for a walk!

I hate to worry you but I had this problem and it led to a heart attack.

have a cup of coffie....red bulll....anyother energy drinks....take your vitamins....

have you thought about working in a cold bath you will find it hard to sleep or get a friend to slap you with a wet fish

go out for a walk at lunchtime, get some fresh air

go to bed earlier????????

Use ur computer at night

Try taking a short walk outside when u feel like sleep beckons. It'll refresh you. Alternately, try some peppy music and dance for a few minutes. You'll be re-energized. Then there's always the tried and trusted caffeine buddy.
