I'm here at work and practically falling asleep.

How can I wake myself without the use of caffeine or other drugs?

hump your coworkers! (note: do not hump to climax)

Pound your head on the desk, stick a pin in your thigh, or start singing.

Put your bare foot in a tub of ice water.

If you smoke, have a cigarette. If you don't smoke, start smoking. Or punch yourself in the face.

Nick swears by apples. He reckons they have something in them (maybe its the natural sugars?) that really wake one up. Never tried it mseelf, if I need to wake up I just grab a V from the vending machine :/

Write a nasty note to your coworkers and post it where everyone will see it. That always wakes me up.

Also, I'd say go for a walk, but if you havent been out there yet Andrew, dont bother! Its hot as all fuck.

Drink a lot of sugar and listen to Iggy Pop.

I think if we had a vending machine at work that contained the 80s best space-lizards-cultivate-mankind-as-food movie ever made, I'd never go home.

Cover your work station with up-pointing thumbtacks as an incentive to keep your head up.

I was hoping this would be a "how can I not hit the snooze button" for 45 minutes thread.

Let's do that too.

I find that using my stereo as an alarm works pretty well. This morning I listened to half an hour of Steve Martin standup before getting out of bed.

I fnd putting my guitar amp (on 11) hooked up to one of those light timers they use for Christmas lights works well.

Yep, listen to music.

Take a turn about the office. Do you need to go check the FAX machine? Visit with a coworker?
