| 634152 | 2008-01-27 04:01:00 | I stick my head out the window at 65 MPH and let the wind inflate my eyelids. I stay awake very well that way. |

| 634154 | 2008-01-27 07:33:00 | I think you should just change jobs, shift work is bad for you, theres always articles about that and lack of proper sleep. Id love to change jobs. And I am seriously looking at doing it. I mean I just did 3 shifts in a row(24hours), had 16 hours off and back in again. This seems to be an ongoing thing here. But with baby almost here I'm very scared of changing jobs or possibly being without one at the moment. The money is ok, could be better Im sure. |

| 634155 | 2008-01-27 12:21:00 | Standard coffee only has around 50mg of Caffine. Try some caffine pills - 100mg. They should keep you going. or just have two cups of coffee:lol: i find some things you just can't help but sleep through. take the maths course i have to take at uni for example; good night's sleep, breakfast, coffee, a V when i walk in at 10am, yet i'm alseep within 20 minutes:groan: if i'm tired at work i just maintain a constant intake of coffee and will go for a quick jog during breaks. V usually works well, kept me going for 36 hours at a LAN tournament no problem:thumbs: |

| 634156 | 2008-01-27 12:33:00 | Yea, thats fun though. Working for 24 hours straight is pretty ....well I dont want to swear, but you get the idea. Its getting quite bad though, I drove home and fell asleep waiting for lights to turn green. That makes me a risk on the roads too so at the moment Im getting picked up/dropped off until we get sorted and the hours go back to normal(ish). I had a packet of those sour buster lollies or whatever they are called, wow! That was a wake up!:lol: |

| 634159 | 2008-01-27 20:29:00 | I used to do all-nighters . . . relax . . it was for my drag racing days and I needed to get a car ready for the strip . . and spent a few nights in a row doing modifications and engine rebuilds to run on Friday evening and Saturday/Sunday . I was also much younger then . I don't do all-nighters any more . If someone needs me to stay awake for more than 18 hours at a time . . then they are gonna miss me . I also quit all activities and go home if I accidentally get wet . Don't ask . |

That makes me a risk on the roads too so at the moment Im getting picked up/dropped off until we get sorted and the hours go back to normal(ish). Years ago the was a guy at work that got into debt with car repairs so managed to pull some strings to get most of the shift work and overtime available. After a short while it was obvious that Harry was so tired that he was just turning up and doing the hours but not much else and he did write the car off going home one morning. Are your managers just kidding themselves that they have whatever the situation is covered? |
