I used to work in a large office and between the lack of fresh air/circulation and the "white noise" of the computers and xerox machines, I'd be quite sleepy. If you have a desk job, think about getting a small plant to boost the oxygen near you. Many people say they breathe better when they sit near plants. Also a crisp wintergreen or spearmint candy can give you a little pick me up without too many calories, and remember to drink plenty of water.

its the weirdest thing isn't it? I am the same way...actually now i'm just tired all the time.
I've even gotten sick and as soon as i go home i feel better...that's sad. Well, it just means that work isn't interesting you and that it's draining you. Ask for a raise...that ought to give you a boost.

Adjust the temperature, or your clothes. Or grab the occasional nap

Splash cold water on your face (and do some stretching exercises while in the wash room).
