How to Avoid Feeling Tired in the Office
10 Simple Tips for Getting Through the Workday with Greater Ease, Focus and Refreshment
Every day starts the same way. Morning coffee. Laptop. Emails. An endless list of tasks. Then, around two in the afternoon, that familiar feeling arrives — a heavy head, fading concentration, tiredness and the sense that there is still a very long day ahead.
If you work in an office, you probably know the feeling very well. Air conditioning, too little movement, long periods of sitting, screens and stress can leave you feeling drained sooner than you might expect.
The good news? There are simple habits that can make the workday feel much more manageable — without drastic changes or endless cups of coffee.
Many people respond to tiredness by reaching for another coffee or an energy drink. But the effect is often short-lived, and the drop in energy afterwards can feel even more noticeable.
1. Take Short Breaks During the Day
Our brains are not designed for hours of uninterrupted concentration.
Try getting up for a moment every 45–60 minutes:
- take a short walk,
- stretch your shoulders,
- look out of the window,
- step away from your screen for a moment.
Even a short two-minute break can help you refocus and create a greater sense of mental wellbeing.
2. Remember to Stay Hydrated
Tiredness can sometimes be linked to something as simple as not drinking enough fluids.
Keep water on your desk and drink regularly throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help you feel more comfortable and focused while you work.
3. Cut Back on “Automatic” Coffee
Coffee itself is not necessarily the problem. The issue is when we reach for it automatically simply to push through tiredness.
Instead of another coffee, try:
- taking a short walk,
- getting some fresh air,
- changing your surroundings,
- giving yourself a quick reset.
Small rituals throughout the day can sometimes feel more refreshing than simply reaching for more caffeine.

4. Create Your Own “Reset” at Work
Many people are looking for simple ways to enjoy a refreshing moment and a brief mental break during the workday.
That is why products such as inhalation oxygen are becoming a popular part of personal workday rituals — whether in the office, while travelling or during long periods of concentration.
A Minimalist Choice for the Workday
One of the most popular options is ATgreen O₂ Classic — a minimalist, aroma-free option suitable for everyday use while working, studying or during busy days.
Many people include it as a short moment to pause during a hectic day:
- between meetings,
- during long periods at the computer,
- during the afternoon slump,
- or simply as a personal “reset”.
5. Bring More Calm into Your Workday
Not all tiredness is physical. Often, mental overload plays a major role.
If your work is demanding, try creating small moments of calm during the day:
- turn off notifications,
- focus on one task at a time,
- slow down for a moment.
A sense of wellbeing at work often comes from the little things.
A Gentler Option for Quiet Moments
If you prefer gentler aromatic options, you may enjoy ATgreen O₂ Herbal with a light herbal aroma and a touch of menthol.
Its aroma is fresh and subtle, making it an easy addition to a personal workday ritual during busy days.
6. Movement Is More Important Than You Might Think
Even the best office chair cannot replace movement.
Try:
- taking phone calls while standing,
- using the stairs,
- going for a walk at lunchtime,
- working while standing from time to time.
Your body and mind will appreciate the change.
7. Your Work Environment Can Influence Your Mood and Performance
Small changes in the office can make a noticeable difference to the atmosphere:
- more light,
- plants,
- an open window,
- a tidy desk,
- a pleasant scent.
Our surroundings can have a greater influence on how we feel than we often realise.
Tiredness Is a Signal to Slow Down
Modern working life can be fast and demanding. Feeling tired is natural. What matters is finding small ways to bring a sense of ease, calm and freshness back into your day.
Sometimes a short break helps. Sometimes it is fresh air. And sometimes it is a small everyday ritual that reminds you to slow down for a moment.
