    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!

    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...

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