Need to stay awake at work? Here’s how to boost your energy and stay productive

Dehydration can make you feel tired. Keep a water bottle at your desk and drink regularly to stay refreshed

A quick walk around the office or a brief stretch can boost your energy levels. Moving your body wakes up your muscles and mind

Avoid heavy or sugary snacks that cause energy crashes. Choose protein-rich or healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, or yogurt

Stare out the window, practice deep breathing, or do a quick mental puzzle to re-energize your mind

Exposure to light, especially natural sunlight, helps keep you alert. Sit near a window if possible, or adjust the lighting in your workspace

If you feel drowsy, switch tasks to re-engage your brain. Sometimes, working on something different can help shake off the fatigue

Plug in your headphones and listen to energizing music if your office environment allows it

Splash some cool water on your face or use a refreshing facial mist. A simple change like this can be surprisingly effective

Chewing gum can keep your mind active and help you stay awake

Try seated leg lifts, shoulder rolls, or gentle stretches to get your blood flowing
