When I feel sleepy or otherwise unproductive I used to walk outside (we have a nice green park) for a few minutes...

Seconded. A change of scenery and a chance to process can also work wonders when you're getting "writer's block".

I must admit I did doze off a couple of times at the new job due to early starts before I got adjusted

Geez. Would you please stop shouting. Some of us over fifties are trying to sleep!
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like.

Close to 50 here...
We have a nice roof terrace where I normally go outside after lunch for 10-15 minutes, get a cola or a bull and just let the sun shine on my face.
Many ppl do that here, it's common.
Feels a bit like a power nap... even if you drink a bull 
When you get back in, your energy is back too.

I had the same issue until I found out I was diabetic, and the carb accumulation for the day was knocking me out in the afternoons/early evenings.
but, I suspect your issue is just casual sleepiness? Been to a doctor lately?
Edit: not taking into consideration, general diet and exercise, etc.

I was thinking the same thing.
Back when I did low-fat/high carb for a snack and then lunch,
I would get tired after lunch...
Cutting out the simple carbs, and focusing on protein... Really helped.
If getting sleepy is consistently after your lunch, then think about this...

Who was it, Newton, Edision, Pascal? One of those type guys would hold a spoon between their index finger and thumb over a plate laid on the floor and drowse until they dropped the spoon and the clatter woke them up. About 5 minutes.
Get a conference room plate and spoon, just not the paper and plastic kind.
OR work from home and no one will know as long as your system sounds for email and messages are loud enough.

Sleep deprivation is not something to promote
I'd also hate to be the one crossing the road if Newton, Edision or Pascal would show up in their car.

I never understood the logic of that saying "sleep when you are dead". What a load of crap. you are dead. Right.
