Tired at work

I'm so tired. I can't seem to keep my eyes open at work. I work in the accounting dept. I'm 22 weeks. Any one have any suggestions?

Fresh air works best for me... but that does mean I have to leave my desk alot. 

I love working from home, because i can take 5-10 minutes and lie on the couch - always making sure to set my alarm, because I do fall asleep that quickly.

Fresh air and a small walk works the best for me.

I'm only 15 weeks 4 days but I have been feeling this way since about 6 weeks. I work 8:30-5:00 and by about 1:30 or 2:00 I can hardly stay awake. It doesn't help that we are in our slow season at work and there isn't much for me to do unless we are making sales.

I find that getting up and walking around helps a little bit but as soon as I sit back down in my office I'm nodding off again. Thankfully my work is very understanding and my manager just makes sure I'm awake with my head off my desk when the big bosses come around or customers come in.

Thanks everyone for all the advice

Maybe take a break and take a 10-15 minute walk...or climb a few flight of stairs. Maybe see what you're eating and try to eat foods that encourage energy.

An afternoon snack always helped me.nbsp; Something like a handful of almonds or yogurt.

Me too. Or I just had some caffeine. Not much, just a small black tea. But it can help.

I still drank a cup of coffee during my PG and very occassionally an afternoon/lunch time soda if I was super beat. I found having juice w/ something w/ some protein helped w/ afternoon tiredness - so apple juice and peanut butter crackers; or cheese and some nuts, etc. In a pinch - nutter butters cookies and apple juice were great
