Exercising has really helped with this, and getting better sleep (the 2 go together I think)

Avoiding heavy lunches helps a ton too!
2 cups of coffee (1 with breakfast, one mid morning).
Small lunch.
10-20 minutes eyes closed/nap.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
I try to take cat naps, but you would be amazed at how big a difference just closing your eyes for 10 min makes. Mid day brain haze completely gone!
I drive for UPS and the pick me up I get from taking a quick cat nap in the back of the truck cannot be overstated.
I start some easy task so I'm distracted from that im tired. Then it flows from there.
limit my caffeine in the morning
Wake up slow then eat a huge breakfast. That gives me plenty of energy for the day, then my lunch can be smaller.
Eat less and drink more water
Coke Zero hits the spot for me
Skip lunch
My lunch is usually a can of Monster and a handful of Ibuprofen, but I'm under no illusion that doing so isn't slowly killing me, so probably don't follow my lead here.
Most people (that can get away with it) basically just check out after lunch. In a 9-5 job the majority of work happens in the window of 10-12.
I usually eat lunch in about 10-15 minutes during a meeting so I donβt have a choice to slow down and get sleepy. That kicks in later on the drive home.
