Well Damn RL... If I would have known you were going to be like that, I would have left up my original photoshop image I had pasted here. ITs on the work computer so I don't have access to it anymore. LOL

I may just have to make another one. HAHA

I used to have to do night shifts. One of the best things I found was:

A: The odd, say every eight hours, Red Bull (or similer).

B: Walk around.

C: Just sleep anyway. Comms could wake me up when I missed my check in call.

Yeah, didn't think so.

Well, no. But if you'd quit trying to provoke me on the internet and do your damn job, you'd be finished by now and could go to sleep.

I learned never to fall asleep on a shift for fear of becoming an IV pincushion.

Just have someone poke you every now and then. PT helps me stay awake too. I've used the water method with success too.

I might if I was so tired that my thinking and judgement were affected, as they are if you do not get enough sleep to recover.

Eventually, you collapse.

I have heard it said that if you keep someone up for 7-10 days continuously, they can die because some bodily fuctions only occur during sleep.

Terry, ask the Doctor for us.

TR- Peter Tripp stayed awake for longer than that an may have suffered severe psychological repricussions as a result. Certainly, he began to experience delusions which prevented him from operating on a day-to-day basis. Experiments of sleep deprivation performed on cats suggests that sleep deprivation will eventually kill you.

HTH,

I am now drinking beer. I prefer it to diet soda.
