Eat food that doesn't make you sleepy?

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.

I really wish napping on the floor model couch wasn't frowned upon. A couch is only as good as its napability, how am I supposed to know a good nap couch unless I test it first? Same goes for recliners and mattresses.

Also a light lunch.

Eat too much and you're ready for a nap.

Jep, low carb, no added sugars.

Select food that keeps the blood sugar from going nuts.

Good advice. Still remember the food coma I had when I had a heavy casserole for lunch, with lots and lots of cheese. Almost fell asleep at my desk, even though I had coffee afterwards. There’s a right time and place for lots of cheese, but it isn’t the office.
