2. Take a walk: Sometimes, sitting in one place for too long can also trigger dullness and sleepiness. Just take a walk outdoors, or if your office doesn't allow you to do so, walk up and down your aisle for a while.

3. Get a cup of tea or coffee: Drinking strong coffee or tea is a sure shot way to wake your system up. The walk to the pantry will also do you good.
