Usually around 2pm the body begins to lapse and is fatigued. Especially for those who are consistently sitting in front of a computer and at a desk. Inactivity can occur because of being uncomfortable or dehydrated.
Here are some tips to help you get through your work day and maintain your after work plans without going home and taking a nap.
Tips:
1) Get up Get moving
Get up very 30-40 mins from your desk to walk around or go to the water cooler. If you don't have the opportunity to walk around go to the bathroom and use lukewarm water and splash it on your face THEN use cold water and splash it on your face. This should slightly enerize you. Do this approx 4 times while at work and you should feel great.
2) Light Snack
Its good to have a lite snack at work such as peanuts or almonds to keep you full and awake. The motion in chewing is enough to keep you alert. It also helps because nuts are low in calories so by lunch time you won't have the urge to pig out!
3) Stay Hydrated
Going back to number 1 the more hydrated (drink only water or light fruit drink) the more you have to go to the bathroom. Therefore you hit two birds with one stone.
4) Lite Exercise
Like #1 getting up and moving is great. If you have the advanatge of taking a brisk walk during lunch, do it! You will feel supurb once you get off at 5 o'clock.
5)Minty things
Having minty things such as mint candy, tea, gum or even hand lotion can help stay awake and revived. The minty scent wakes the brain up and opens your nasal passages. It also slightly attracts others to your cubicle...mingle....mingle....mingle
