If you need that extra help early in the morning, then have coffee..but if you really don't need it in the middle of the day, then don't drink it or drink decaf..which still has caffine it.
The one thing I have realized is that when I get tired or sleepy in the middle of the day, it is always attributed to what I've eatten..like something starchy or sugary that leads to my sleepiness. So I've tried to be cautious of what I eat or equal it out with a lot of veggies and fruit.

Thanks for the tip with the coffee- I dont want a caffeine addiction, but it really does help. Right now it's the only thing thing I drink other than water and the occasional wild cherry diet pepsi.

I'm with you on the tired after lunch deal- I've converted to having salads at lunch with some kind of protein. That or sushi, which is mainly veggies (the rolls I like anyway). I feel so much more alert in the afternoon.
