Drink a cup of coffee or tea to benefit from the stimulating effects of caffeine. However, be mindful not to consume too much caffeine, as it can lead to jitteriness or disrupt your sleep later on.

If possible, take a short power nap lasting around 10 to 20 minutes. Power naps can help improve alertness and improve cognitive function without causing grogginess.
