I've got 8 hours of work with no break ahead of me and I can barely keep my eyes open

Is there anything I can take/do for energy ?

Drink cold water. Get fresh air in the sunshine if possible. Walk briskly around the block. I worked long /unpredictable hours for years and these all worked much better than caffeine or energy drinks.

Nothing sugary. You’ll get a burst of energy for two mins then crash.

Bananas are good. Slow energy release. Get all the windows open for some fresh air. Go for a brisk walk or do some exercises before you start. Keep a fan on you. Smell something citrusy.

If you're at work, legally they have to give you a break. If not, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have a couple of snacks you can eat discreetly.

Dried apricots?
The nature valley protein bars are sustaining. They contain nuts
Peanut butter whole meal rolls( cut into quarters to eat discreetly?)
Legally I think you're allowed a break
