The first thing you are going to do is indulge in mugs of coffee to try to shake off the feeling of sleepiness. But this is a mistake. You need caffeine, especially on such days, but only in moderation. Taking more than two mugs of coffee can make you more fatigued.
Green Tea
You can have one cup of green tea instead of one cup of coffee. This will help you stay awake and at the same time destroy the harmful free radicals accumulated in your body due to disturbed metabolism owing to lack of sleep.
Sugar is prohibited
Lack of sleep throws your metabolism out of gear. The normal process of breaking down of sugar into energy goes haywire. Thus sugar accumulates in your body. So if you are feeling like having something sweet the next day you should exercise refrain. You may feel more fatigued.
Take a nap
The best medicine for symptoms of sleep deprivation is sleep itself. So if you get a window of opportunity such as during the recess time, grab it to have a catnap. Get a comfortable and peaceful places to lie and just fall asleep. Tell your colleagues or friends to call you up after one hour or so.
Get some sunlight
Sunlight is rich in vitamin D and getting enough sunlight for at least 15 minutes can make you more alert.
Exercise
Some light aerobic exercise can help your heart pump more blood and thereby generate more energy. Do some cycling or take a stroll in sunlight. You will feel better.
