What to do to avoid sleepiness in the office?
If you have an early morning or late night shift and start feeling sleepy while working, then you can keep yourself active with these easy methods-
1. After every 45 to 60 minutes, get up from your seat and walk for about 5 minutes.
2. While sitting on a chair, do light stretching or exercise of your hands and legs.
3. When you feel sleepy, wash your face with cold water, this will make you feel fresh.
4. Keep drinking adequate amount of water throughout the day, because lack of water in the body can increase fatigue.
5. Avoid eating very heavy or high carbohydrate food at lunch.
6. Drink tea or coffee in moderation. Caffeine can help keep your brain active for a while.
7. If you are feeling very sleepy, then have a light conversation with a colleague to work, this will distract your attention and you will feel less sleepy.
