How Do you guys prevent sleeping after having lunch in the office?
And How do you guys utilise the time to commute
I close my eyes and delete one random table from Db and then go for small walk outside
Try dropping a DB one day it would be good walk that day
I work on a standing desk for 2 hours in morning and 2 hours after lunch. Also, I listen to podcasts and audiobooks during the daily drive to and from work

Does standing desk makes a difference? The only logical thing that I can possibly imagine like whole is in motion so it doesn't feel sleepy

A walk after lunch is the best. And ofcourse coffee!
And songs during commute. Need to stay calm during the drives. No point listening to heavy content for me. Personally, Can't unwind with podcasts and other stuff

A fairly heavy breakfast. A couple of biscuits mid morning. Lunch would be phulkas and some curry and buttermilk for hydration. I have some granola and nuts stocked for munching. Night would be the same. Many a time it could be rice for lunch as well.
Light lunch and munching plus music during my productive hours. Apart from that a small walk after lunch.

I understood the part that heavy lunch would make me sleepy

My "passion to deliver quality work" prevents me from sleeping.
My EMI's have no role.

I take a nap if I really need to. A 15 min nap gives me an instant boost of energy. Don’t fight it, just embrace it. 😀
Eat light lunch, avoid rice on hot days, drink strong green tea/black coffee within 1.5 to 2 hrs post lunch to avoid the post-lunch sleep, or have diet coke. That's what worked for me

I work from home, so I always sneak in a quick nap after lunch. Reason 356 I would be non-functional in a real office
A walk after the lunch works the best. Plus chai after 2 hours is a must.

One or more from below should help you to prevent sleeping:
1. Keep the lunch a little lighter than what you have been having.
2. Have a slow/normal paced walk after lunch, possibly with your teammates/colleagues.
3. Wash your face with cold/normal water.
4. Try to get more and proper (deep and if possible as per natural circadian rhythm) sleep in the night.
For commuting, not sure about your mode of commute and amount of time you are using commute; but you can utilise it to do one or more of the below things:
1. Sleep if needed
2. Catch up with social media/news
3. Watch movie/show
4. Read book
5. Listening to podcast/audiobook
6. Make a to-do list for the day (or next day(s))
7. Catch up with your friends/family with your phone
After lunch, I generally work on tasks that need to be completed on that day, because the deadline will never let me sleep post lunch. If there is no work, I would go for a walk or play some Table Tennis for like 30mins.
I travel to office via metro, and it takes 1 hour for 1 way, so I generally allot this time to read any book, and I completes 3 books in last 6months using this approach.

Stop stuffing your face and walk, lazybones. Use commute for podcasts, not Bollywood songs. No spoon-feeding here, figure it out.
Just drink water and walk around for 10 minutes, get some sunlight on face, you won’t feel sleepy.

I go and have a discussion with my boss. She shouts at me - sleep gone. Job done.
