So, I'm at work, struggling to stay awake during a graveyard shift. See, the thing is I have two main problems: 1. I work/go to school during the day. 2. Ever since a few years ago, when I started taking caffeine pills in a futile attempt to lose ten pounds. I've been trying to find a way to stay awake and googled the topic, but didn't really come up with a reasonable answer. So, this is what's worked for me so far.
1. Vitamin B. For some reason, the giant B complex pills really help keep me awake.
2. Drink tons of water. Cold water. I hate water, so forcing myself to drink it helps keep me awake for some reason.
3. Have enough stuff to do for the entire shift. I tend to bring games, books, homework, etc. so I have tons to keep me occupied if work is slow.
4. That being said, I typically have stuff that doesn't take very long. If I try to read the entire time, I invariably feel like falling asleep, but when I have stuff in one hour compartments, it makes me stay awake.
5. Taking a shower right before my shift also really helps.
What else? I don't know... Reading random crap... Munching on food, etc.
Well, back to work... And to get a sandwich and some chips. i've been craving potato chips for a while now.
On a totally different note, it takes really long to think when you're tired.
