relieving tiredness

[tris-]

so i didnt get out of work till 0140 today. got to sleep at 0330 ish and then got woken at 0930ish. now obviously im really fucking tired. i have work again at 1700 and probably getting out at the same time again.
i might be lucky and not fall asleep when im driving home but i also need to get through the rest of the night.

apart from coffee and lots of it, is there any other method of relieving the crazy tiredness im suffering? getting back to sleep is a no no. once im awake thats it

Stick pins in the top 1/2 of your eyeballs - it stops the eyelids flopping shut...works a treat

working nights has proven pretty difficult for me, but i get through it with coffee, biscuits, loud music and the occasional red bull

tbh mate, that's fucking LOADS o sleep, try having 2 children, one under a year old who really like to wake up 5-10 times between 2am and 8am, chuck work in @ 8 am and you start getting tired.

6 hours sleep is generally PLENTY to carry you through a normal day without having to go to bed early next night etc, it's prolly jsut cos yer not used to it, have a shower, take a walk outside, throw some caffiene inside yer system i.e. tea/coffee, eat/drink something sugary if yer like me, i tend to fill myself up on DrPepper.

above all else though, if yer really that tired, dont sit around staring at a TV or computer screen for hours on end, it'll just make you sleepy, DO something that involves movement!

aye usually about 6 hours would be more than enough. but my day isnt exactly normal. after running around like an ass for 7 hours cooking food for people who enjoyed deep fried shit, i then commence 1-2 hours of hardcore cleaning

might have to search for some cola. lets see how that one pans out.

Rub salt in your eyes, will wake you up.

after i got into the action of working the tiredness soon subsided.

i also abused the free drinks rule and stole coffee.

you will get used to it which is the best cure. and 6 hours is pretty good.

go to your local spa and get a massage, works better than you would think

Eat a big raw steak. Liver works better but that's just really hard to get down. Raw steak got blood in it, which contains a lot of iron and other nutriciens in them, and will give ye a good energyboost.
Whatever you do, Eat good. When you haven't had sleep, your body burns a lot more than after a good night rest, thus if you don't eat enough you get ever more tired. You need to eat healthy stuff though. Fatty foods take too much energy to transform into fuel for your cells. Sugars (and/or glucose) don't do you good either because they give a good energyboost at the first minutes, but a deep low right after that, making you more tired than before you ate the sugar. This is the reason why sugar and glucose are addictive. Your body wants to get back to that sugarrush moment.

Pay me and i will kick you in the balls if you look sleepy.

With this I mean that it had seen the hot surface of a pan for only a short time... not a completely raw steak
