At least my option is to drive or get a ride from someone else.
I have occasional bouts of insomnia. Riding is usually better for me. It really wakes me up in the morning. If I start to get drowsy just after lunch I'll jump on the bike for a quick 1-mile jaunt and I find that revitalizes me for the remainder of the afternoon.
I've also found that taking the long way home and getting in 25 miles after work helps me feel nice and sleepy by the time 10pm rolls around.
