Look around you:
The person nodding off at the bus stop, or perhaps the
co-worker who is having a difficult time keeping his eyes open. These are all
examples of people being sleepy at times when they are not meant to.
Or imagine a friend of yours, who works in the night shift
at some company. The probability that your friend will spend his shift in a
sleepy way is high.
So what can we do to make sure we do not feel sleepy?
Probably sleep for adequate amount of time. However it is
noteworthy to mention that we might not be able to sleep when and where we feel
sleepy. So what can we do in such a situation?
