I just came home from a night shift and hadn't gotten any sleep the day before

Usually Sunday night dance sessions don't faze me, but this time it did because before that I went running in the morning *and* rollerblading in the afternoon. So I was mad active. To stay awake yesterday, I was drinking loads of caffeine -- coffee, soda, red bull, etc. Took a nap on the commute home. Got home and drunk even more caffeine. The thing that sucks is I will drink loads of caffeine during the day and yawn like crazy all day. But, when it reaches nighttime, all the caffeine kicks in and I actually STAY UP 'til after midnight. It's wack. But today is good, I'm pretty much back to normal. I think. ...

Never have that stuff 2 days in a row, it'll make you feel like you were run over the next day | |

Other than that I tend to drink decaf, no sugar everything. | |

Caffeine. Lots of caffeine.
I just worked 15 days in a row, four of those days were 15 hour work days, the rest were 10 hour work days. Plus, we partied almost every night. I have no idea how I survived it. | |

It's just not natural if you're a day worker to adjust to those hours without some ramifications. It's my own fault for volunteering to do the meeting. I didn't think ahead. And really, I could go home, but I'd rather press through and leave early later this week. |

I agree on the whole nap thing. A 10 to 15 minute nap will do wonders.

M I never understood how to do this. When I set an alarm clock, how do I know when I fall asleep? How do I know when I will have slept 10-15 minutes? Or do you fall asleep just like that? Always takes me some time. | |

Always takes me some time. Most of the timed naps I've taken have been at work because of a late night so I ask a co-worker to wake me up. I don't have trouble falling right asleep if I've been sleep deprived the previous night. M MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

days like this are why i don't drink energy drinks or espresso drinks unless i REALLY need them. because when i really need a boost, i don't have a tolerance built up and they're all the more potent for when i need them.
that said, in future occurrences i highly recommend the ROCKSTAR POMEGRANATE energy drink and/or a double espresso from your local coffee shop...then LOTSA water.  | |

And by the way, "change" is not always good.
She could have just fucked things up worse than they were. | |
