Blow away 2 PM sleepiness with a short, hardcore nap + standing-work sprint
When I’m truly sleepy, I close my eyes in a chair for 5–10 minutes for a “forced shutdown” 😪💤. After that I head to the kitchen or outside, splash cold water → stretch → a very short walk (one lap around the building) to reset 🔥. If that still doesn’t do it, I declare, “Please give me 15 minutes of hardcore napping time,” set a timer, and lie down in a meeting room or on the sofa 👉 When I wake, I switch to caffeine + gum + standing work mode, and power through with a 15–30 minute “focus sprint” to finish it all in one go ☕️✨.
