Find a better state: Try to understand why you feel sleepy and dull. Do you lack sleep, than you know what to do! needs better eating habits than you know what to do next.
Are your eating habit good to make you feel energetic and healthy than work on that.
Your observation should be followed by more observation and some action!

Find out why.: If you r drowsy hours after u have slept, there is a definite problem. Many possibilities: adverse drug effect, abnormal sleep state, sleep disordered breathing, thryoid, heart or nervous system disorder...Probably the most common cause is depression. See a good primary care physician (if he says you r depressed without work-up, find another). Eat four times per day, drink more than 60 oz water.

Try Excersize: A good work-out (appropriate for your body) at some point during the day may help you feel the need to rest at night. Give it a try!

I would just add that you should do the exercise during the day rather than before bed; exercise raises your body's core temperature and it can take 2-3 hours for it to go back down to normal (ie delaying sleep onset)

Avoid sugar, caffein: Regular exercise, getting enough sleep, avoid sugar and caffeine, open window if you can. It could be due to sick building syndrome - lack of proper air circulation if windows are sealed closed. Get up from your desk every hour for a stretch or a short walk. If you are a vegetarian, vitamin B12 supplementation can help. A multivitamin and coq10 could also help. Or, perhaps your job is boring.
