I do office work, today is awfully quiet and i have no motivation whatsoever. I am so tired, i keep going to the bathroom to close my eyes lol! Sitting here contemplating whether i need todays pay and to just go home to bed. Got any advice on how to keep awake and motivated at work? And before you mention coffee, im very allergic! :(

Take the afternoon off and give in to it.

Drink lots of water and get up for a stretch/short walk around every 10 minutes! And get that window open Wink.

Can you open a window or get out for some fresh air on break/lunch?
Spritz some cold water on your face?
Keep hydrated

I feel your pain as I'm also in the office and absolutely shattered for some reason but unable to go home until 5.

walk at lunch time, lots of water as being dehydrated makes you tired.
But I always find herbal tea works the best for me - green tea with mint or ginseng perks me up a treat.

20 min nap at lunch time if you can is also extremely refreshing

@Shockers think i might have to invest in one of them bike thingys you put under your desk to keep your legs moving lol!

@glittertissues I leave at 5 too. Feels forevvver away! i'll sit outside for lunch. Hopefully i'll perk up a bit after that
