Yawn...

Yes… do you feel sleepy now after your lunch? To make it worst, you are working instead of staying at home now having the luxury of going for a nap at anytime. So I would say that you are currently experiencing some difficulties keeping your head still =Þ. So here are some tips to keep you wide awake when you face this problem after your lunch hours at the office: -

  1. Give yourself a few slaps on the face: - Well you can try this if you want. But I would like to warn you that, you may experience some numbness on your face if you try this method of keeping yourself awake. Or you might attract unwanted attention from your colleagues, and they will wonder why you are doing this self inflicting pain to yourself. Well one good excuse you can tell them is, “ayo there are mosquitoes at the office leh
  2. Drink lots of water: - This will defiantly keep you awake no matter what happens… but one side effect from this is, you have to be a frequent patron to your office toilet. This will keep your feet busy as well… so all I can hope is that you will have a clean toilet to use.
  3. Keep your brain busy: - Ok this one is a little bit difficult to think of. But I have tried this method last week… and I did manage to keep myself awake after I have “feed” my brain with some reading materials and then something to think about. So is best you keep yourself busy no matter what! Hmm… maybe this has something to do with tips no. 2. =Þ
  4. Grab your colleague and have a few gossip sessions with them: - Well this one is up to you, but I would not recommend this. This is one final solution to get you wide awake… but then again… I think most of the time, we have to get some “information” at our office… eheheh…
  5. Walk around the office area or take a few rides in the lift: - This one is a classic, I do this most of the times. But the most I would do is take a ride in the lift from my office floor way down to the ground floor.
  6. The basic “go to toilet lah, then was your face”: - Well this one to the most common ways to keep yourself awake after your lunch hours. But this is not as exciting as the other tips that I have mention.

So this is it… I can’t think of anything else to add on ways to keep you awake after your lunch hours. If you have any crazy ideas… do let me know about it!!!
