We've all had an energy crisis at one point or another that made it feel impossible not to lay our head down and call it an early day. It can happen just about anywhere: school, the office, at home, or even in the kitchen. Maybe it is happening to you right now! If so, check out this article featuring over a dozen tips to help fight the Z's.

My favorite is for the classroom sleepy heads wishing they could be back in bed. First and foremost, don't give into the urge to prop your head up with a hand. This classic drowsy-inducing move will only make it worse. One of the easiest solutions is to bring coffee or food. But if that is not an option, tap your fingers to a beat or number count. Keep moving! And if there's a laptop or computer at your disposal, get it out. Surfing online can stimulate the mind into waking up (especially if you have Facebook).

For office people, the issue of staying awake is one that needs to be addressed for a longer time period. Tell your colleagues at work about the energy drop and see if there is something to work on together. Talking with other people can help keep you awake. Also, try taking a bathroom break once every hour. If it gets bad, splash water on your face before heading back into the jungle. These are just a couple things to try, so check out the rest for other helpful tips!
