When the afternoon sleepies hit you at work?
We had a potluck and I'm feeling the food coma.... can barely lift my eyelids!!! I drank a lil bit of coffee, but i don't want to overdo the caffeine. So I got up and walked around our floor a bit. Need a kick in the booty to wrap up a project!

Can you go outside and get some fresh air - even if its for 30 seconds?

I walk down to the cafeteria (5 min there) and refill my ice water. Sometimes I take a friend! It does help a lot. Mostly, i find i avoid the afternoon crash if i don't eat a bunch of carbs at lunch. Chinese food? My nemesis.

same as @Mamaof2: fresh air. Otherwise I take a 15 minute power nap in my car!

I drive from one school to another in the afternoon, so I haven't felt the mid-afternoon sleepies since I started that schedule! So I guess this is another vote for fresh air and some movement!

@blackbird: Just walked down to refill my ice water. Grabbed a few pieces of fruit and now I'm trying to get this project finished!

Aromatherapy...grapefruit and citrus are awakening and energizing.

...with the intense urge to pee. Oh, wait, what?
I definitely try to take a brisk walk. Even if you have to take a brief one every 20 minutes, you still get more work done!

Back when I worked in IT I took crap naps all the time. Shhh...
Now I take a walk and/or pick up coffee. I'm drinking a Starbucks Flat White for the first time right now because I got a gift card when I started at the company... yum!

I usually step outside and get some air, walk and refill my water, or just walk to the bathroom, which I have to do every 30 minutes these days it seems like! ha
