The extra half hour helped so much! Going for a walk and a cup of tea, but really, that's about it. With my first pregnancy, I used to go find an unused conference room on my lunch break and nap. Just closing my eyes helped soooo much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-staying-awake-amp-focused-at-work#post-1917417 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:18:50 +0000 ducky 1917417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of trouble with this, too. I relied on things that I thought of as 'refreshing'. I'd go grab a glass of ice water, or an apple right out of the fridge.</p> <p>I also, maybe, just maybe, didn't give up caffeine completely! (my doc ok'd this, tho)</p> <p>+1 to fresh air and also to kissing your concentration goodbye :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-staying-awake-amp-focused-at-work#post-1917413 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:16:08 +0000 loki 1917413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg following cuz i would love tips. i'm 16w4d and i still get EXHAUSTED in the afternoon! i have a super long commute so the train naps help but i'm stilllllllll so tired all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-staying-awake-amp-focused-at-work#post-1917411 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:16:05 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1917411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Standing up at my desk, though I can only do that for a little while before my back starts to hurt from leaning over to type. Getting up periodically and doing yoga stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-staying-awake-amp-focused-at-work#post-1917410 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:15:54 +0000 catomd00 1917410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh the first trimester is awful! I was constantly dozing off. Getting out of the office for some fresh air a few times a day was the only thing that minorly helped. As for being focused, you can kiss your concentration goodbye from now until forever lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-staying-awake-amp-focused-at-work#post-1917407 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:14:44 +0000 Corduroy 1917407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dragging today.
