Earlobes and area below the knee are also found to be good pressure points for this purpose.

Light up the Environment: Silent and undisturbed environment might be good for concentration but it can put you into peaceful sleep. Do ensure that light is always vibrant and you have a company to keep you entertained. Music can also be a an excellent stimulant.

Caffeine nap: Some people complain about caffeine not helping them at all. This is because it requires time. If you are unresistably sleepy have a cup of coffee and take a quick nap for 15 minutes. When you’ll wake up, the caffeine will start its work and you will feel more active.
