    Now, if only it didn’t take me 40 minutes to fall asleep. Then I’d be set.

    *typing this at lunch OUTSIDE of work*

    Whenever I get the yawning fits, I just head to the toilets, lock the cubicle and grab a quick 10 minute nap. That really kills the tiredness for me, and I actually feel much better.

    Of course not everyone can get to sleep sitting on a toilet, but it works for me.
