What do you do to stay awake, alert and focused at work? Sure you can start guzzling caffeine drinks and popping energy supplements - but you’ll be setting yourself up for a major crash. You need to pace yourself and moderate your intake of coffee, energy drinks or whatever your caffeinated beverage of choice may be.

Waking Up:

Starting Work:
1-2 cups - Go ahead and drink 1 or 2 cups.

After Lunch:
1-2 cups - Usually you are dragging after lunch, so you’ll need a cup or two in the afternoon to help you finish out the day.

It is imperative that you stop drinking coffee 1-2 hours prior to the end of the work day so you can let your caffeine buzz gradually fade as it gets closer to bedtime and then you will be able to actually fall asleep.
