As a non-chemical suggestion, a few minutes of yoga and deep breathing do wonders for my alertness. I've learned that if I'm starting to flag at work I need to take a minute, go into my records room and hold a solid forward fold for a few minutes while breathing deep. A little extra oxygen and a stretch goes a long way to clear my head and bring me back down to earth.
