It is slow here today, so many people on holidays, but there is still about 30% of the workforce in the office. I was sitting at my desk at 9:30, and I just bolted upright, realizing that I'd been asleep for the last 45 minutes. The slight drool on my chin gave it away.

Fortunately (or so I hope), no one has been around. I'm a pretty light sleeper, so I'm rather sure I would have awoken if anyone walked by.

Anyone else sleepy at work? :)

Europe has the lifestyle thing figured out ... mandatory 4 weeks holidays, shorter working weeks. Who cares if you're making a mint if you're getting more out of life. I wish I weren't stuck behind my desk for 9 hours a day. :(

Going to talk to the supervisor this week about possibly working only 4 days a week ... will NOT mention sleeping at work ;)

Put your feet up on the desk, close your eyes, relax and try counting back from 100 to 0, focussing only on the numbers. That'll do it. The only times I usually sleep at work is on coffee/lunch breaks when I'm totally bagged, and that works for me. I get to around 65 every time and knock off.

No, I mean in a manner that'll NOT get me fired if someone happens to walk by...

Edit: Got back from lunch around 10 mins ago.

Go into a 'conference call' mode. Shut the door, just don't leave it that way for hours. Closed doors are OK here at work, though I have worked places where this was totally unacceptable. Sometimes it is the only way to get any work done. What made you so sleepy?
