What do you guys do to stay awake?
Taking short walks outside usually works sometimes for me. Music/internet radio seem to help a bit as well. But these don't lasts long. Neither does the candy/sweets/gum that I buy sometimes (however, they are useful during meetings!)
I believe that taking small naps is the best solution (15-30 minutes with sleep), but I'm often in situations where small naps is not an option.

I'm interested in hearing what you guys do. Office tips are wanted!

Tips to Stay Awake at Work Place...

Begin the day with a good breakfast. One should get all the energy necessary to work and not feel tired and listless. One might feel sleepy when one is tired
Walk in the office. Go over to a colleague, rather than calling him up or sending him an email. Walking improves the blood circulation and any movement keeps you awake
Eat a light lunch. A heavy lunch may make you sleepy
Keep some snacks around that will keep you awake, like whole- wheat crackers, low-fat cheese. They provide you energy throughout the day. Eating a chocolate bar will not help
Sleep well at night. The hangover may persist the next day if you do not sleep well. You may sleep in the office
Converse with co-workers. A lively and interesting conversation will keep you awake
One can call in sick if one is very sleepy and cannot keep oneself awake
In lecture meeting take down notes as this would keep your mind awake
Multi-tasking helps. Do many things simultaneously. Keeps you alert
Stimulating thoughts will keep you happy and awake throughout the day. Think of something nice
Surf the net when you have free time. Send emails to a friend
Try to entertain yourself by flirting with someone
If there is a nap place in your place of work then take a nap
Listen to music during your free time
