Everything bar propping my eyes open with matchsticks, how am I going to stay awake at work for the next few hours? Seriously nearly nodded off a minute ago!!!

nodding off whilst trying to do a 3000 word assignment...

Miss Fluff · 15-11-2005 04:32PM

Yeah, I'm trying to prepare a presentation, can't stay awake........have staring at screen inanely syndrome

Endurance Man · 15-11-2005 04:32PM

Well if no one can see you and you can lock your door screw it

, have a sleep. I slept for 2 hours at school once on some gym mats, was lovely

nip to the shop and buy a can of red bull and a pack of skittles. throw the skittles into the red bull, ulp it back it will buzz you up for a few hours ;-)

Miss Fluff · 15-11-2005 04:34PM

LOL

can't unfortunately, my Director sits right behind me although surely the way my head keeps crashing into my keyboard every time I nod off must be giving it away

I just got up and went to the shops as I was just about to fall asleep. Told everyone I'd get some choc biscuits so I'd have something with a cup of tea.:p

15-11-2005 04:42PM

Binomate · 15-11-2005 04:47PM

A spoon full of coffee will do the trick as well.

Siogfinsceal · 15-11-2005 05:53PM

the caffeine ones are called pro plus you can get em in spar and chemists

JackieChan · 15-11-2005 05:58PM

I used to work nights and used to be very quite but one night I just couldn't stay awake.Even though I had about 5 cups of coffee I dozed off. All I remember is that as I lay with my head on the keyboard the security guard put his hand on on my shoulder and by jaysus that I wake up and feel alert! Got a good 2 hrs in though!! God I hated night work.

Nimrod's Son · 15-11-2005 06:09PM

Get into an arguement on Boards. That'll eat up some time and keep ya alert. :v:

I had that problem last night working on a paper... :rolleyes:

gucci · 15-11-2005 07:02PM

im absolutely wrecked too cant wait for work to be over......falling asleep here behind the wheel of my 40foot artic, so had to go on the internet on my laptop while i drove to help keep me awake :eek:

Funkstard · 15-11-2005 07:43PM

/\er.....there's several things I'd like to know how you managed to do to 'go on the internet' whilst driving a big lorry!

Falling asleep is the best...I have the technique for getting a few minutes in without the teacher seeing in school down to a 'T'

dundalk cailin · 15-11-2005 11:18PM

i only work as a waitress, so there's no chance of 'falling asleep' on the job, but i do find myself noddin off in class sometimes, esp fri mornings after thu nights :eek:

Piste · 15-11-2005 11:28PM

My head keeps falling forward in class these days. Thank God a lot of my teachers dont seem to mind as they know I can pay attention even when I have my head on the table and my eyes closed...

dundalk cailin · 15-11-2005 11:45PM

i sat behind a girl in english, leaving cert class, who, without exceptionm proceeded to sllep thru every class we had..she sat at the front and the teacher never passed any remarks :eek:

/me wonders why that girl ended up repeatin LC at the Institute, and still didnt obtain required points???

Rhyme · 16-11-2005 12:11AM

Have come close in one or two of my lectures this year... hard to concentrate when the room is dim and warm and the lecturers voice is low...

ZZzzzz

dundalk cailin · 16-11-2005 12:11AM

perfect sleeping conditions :eek:

Ruaidhri · 16-11-2005 12:56PM

What's wrong with you people? wake the f**k up. if you are in work,you are being paid to WORK,not sleep.

dundalk cailin · 16-11-2005 12:57PM

Notice the IF there

and anyway,you can be forgiven in college when you have a load of boring lectures in a row,all abstract, useless topics to boot

Can you not engage in some mischief at work? should keep you awake.

Them and luzocade would keep ye going

I'd Bet anyway

IceHawk · 16-11-2005 01:30PM

Caffeine is fine if you just want to stay awake, but I find when I'm studying it totally kills my ability to concentrate

shakaman · 16-11-2005 04:08PM

If you work in an office like me with colleagues who work on different floors, go the loo and bring your phone with you. Set the alarm for 15 mins time, lock the door and you'll be fresh as a daisy after your nap!

If anyone asks.....'Oh I was just helpin Eileen upstairs with a query'!
