The Fear

boardinwork

Anybody like me, they cant sleep properly after they have been out Fri and Sat night - and the thought of work has you up all night?

I feel like crap today because of it. Any cures!?

connundrum

Change job
Don't go out Fri and Sat nights
Don't drink
Drink more
Drink in work on Monday mornings
Have a cup of hot milk before going to bed
Have a glass of water before going to bed
Tire yourself out before going to bed i.e. go for a run, cycle, swim etc.

i only slept 2 hours last night and i am at work at the moment, relying on a steady supply of coke zero to keep me awake.


But wasnt due to fear of work, I was ill in the first part of the weekend and it knocked my sleeping scheduale off so it was hard to geet some sleep.

Then some f*cker rung me at 7am in the morning to enquire about some editing work...

Why Coke Zero ?

Wouldnt regular Coke be better, with extra sugar and all the other good stuff ?

I would reccommend, (and I'm being serious here, not crude) a good seeing to. If I can't sleep and I find that my sleep schedule has been disturbed, e.g. on a Sunday night when you've slept loads at odd times over the weekend a relaxing bit of nookie can really tire you out and send you to sleep happy!

It's not just beer related BTW, I get it all the time if I have to be 'up' for anything special next morning, invariably I end up clock watching all bloody night and not getting any sleep, and while your awake watching the clock all sorts of ****ty stuff goes through your head making it worse !

Exact same as me. I thought it was the booze, but think its just dreading getting in to work. It's usually grand when i get in though!

He has to watch his girlish figure.

I would recommend getting out and going for a run early on (if you're not too sober) went for a good long swim last night and was wrecked by the time I got to bed.
That being said it is a pain in the arse... I can usually write off Sunday nights altogether so have an extra long sleep in Sunday morning.

I got a little more about 2 & 1/2 but im recked i find that boost is the single best drink for waking you up, so much more so than red bull and i know the **** thats in both of them i only drink them in a emergency need to wake up and not sleap in work or get fired situtation, i got woken up one time by a e-mail from my boss telling me to get a cup of coffie

Alcohol interferes with your sleep. You never actually hit deep REM sleep when under the affluence of even a little incohol, which is why recovering alcoholics have such twisted nightmares. Years of non-sleep catching up them.
