Cheers for the suggestions,

I mitigated the sleep issue by calling a meeting with another contractor and a permie to bitch about the political environment and the current supplier - client relationship.

Lasted an hour and now I feel rejuvenated!

Was it a Passat? Did you mean to go somewhere but fell asleep as soon as you got in?

You should do what Mrs Gonzo does and go to the toilets, shut yourself in a cubicle and have a power nap.

A bit embarrassing if you start snoring mind...

5 espresso and a red bull should do it for a while.

Get up and go for a walk. Gte a drink of water and have a mars bar.

Slap yourself about the face a bit, it will wake you up and also provide amusement for those around you.
