Sounds to me like any chair without a back will do the trick. Brilliant point -- thanks.

I'm not sure if anyone's thought of this... but I was thinking about it
the other day and have put it to the test. For those who want to limit
microsleeps or falling asleep in general while at your desk chair while
adapting, you might want to try using a large exercise ball as a chair.
I've seen people do this for egonomical purposes, plus it burns calories.

Agreed. Exercise balls are awesome. I have found that I get much less tired
in the first place when using one, as well.
 
Speaking of that, I should go find my exercise ball!

I think any chair without a back is a step in the right direction, but the trick to an exercise ball  is that you have to constantly be making very small adjustments to stay balanced. This is easy, but still takes some mental faculties; I think that helps me stay awake without realizing it.

They're only about $15 at your local big box store.
