    What do you use to stay awake? I am at my other job now and there is no coffee, soda or Tea bags around.. Only decaf and that don't help!

    what are other good alternatives ?

    Apples are meant to be better at keeping you awake than tea is, so you could try that!

    I don't like being awake for long because it's not good for the body but once in a while I enjoy playing Texas Hold'em at Pokerstars and
    it's a lot funnier to play in the night with some good music. I use energy drinks to keep me awake longer than usual.

    Take a few deep breaths every now and then - especially in the breaks and if you can do that outside

    Here some things that might work:

    Drink lots of water then hold on as long as you can and dont go to the toilet

    Have something with lots of sugar in it like candy or hot chocolate with sugar - will help give you a short burst but it wont last long and could lead to a downer

    Eat a piece of fruit like an apple or banana as there are some fruits that are really good energy boosters

    slap yourself, splash some cold water on your face and keep telling yourself to stay awake

    Push ups and sit ups

    Any sort of mental challenge where you force your brain to concentrate on a task to distract yourself

    Coffee and Tea is really a good choice if you want to stay awake . Nicotine is another one so smoking is another alternative...Sleep or take a nap in the afternoon
