I can take a nap if I want to -- I mean, nobody will fire me -- but it severely messes up my sleep schedule, which is already messed up by intermittent insomnia.

What I find most efficacious is tea -- not coffee, coffee seems too harsh for that time of day -- and a snack with some protein to it. Avoid tryptophan. Nuts and apples, peanut butter and apple, green salad with walnuts, all have worked for me.

It's tricky eating something with salad dressing on it at the computer, though.
