I need to stay awake

Jump to newest

Good morning you beautiful people!

Last night I had to take amitriptyline for my back. I was already tired so though brilliant, I’ll sleep well!

But nope. The opposite. I dosed on and off from half past nine until one am, was awake for two and a half hours, and woke up at 6am.

I start work in 50 minutes. I then have a training course, then back in work at 2.45pm.

HOW DO I STAY AWAKE?

I don’t like coffee, so that is out of the question. I know fine well I will start to nod off at this training course; how can I prevent this?

Put an elastic band round your wrist and keep pinging it.

Get someone to take notes on your behalf and grab a kip.

Take some mints in. Eating keeps you awake

"Eat an apple and drink plenty of water "

Emphasis on 'plenty'

The constantly full bladder discomfort should keep you awake easily enough.

Pepsi Max is helpful for caffeine and bubbly goodness discreet exercises can help blood flow- bum clenching or kegels are fun!

I have no advice but lots of empathy. I also took pain meds and hoped that would help sleep as well as making me less sore, but not so.

I’m shattered now, feel awful and I still hurt. Loads of builders tea for me today.

I hope the day passes quick and you get an early night x

A Gramm of amphetamines should do the trick

I'd go with the energy drink. They help me. Zero sugar ones are best.

Good luck today op.

I really must recommend that you keep away from the energy drinks.

They really are bad for you.

All of the sportsmen that you see having heart attacks on the pitch are due to these.

Any existing heart precondition can magnified using these

Tell them you have a form of Tourette’s and if you slap yourself occasionally they’re not to be alarmed. Then call him a cunt and go back to your seat looking at him apologetically

Dont sit anywhere to warm and comfy. Open the windows or blast some music. Or just prop yourself up somewhere vaguely uncomfortable x

I’ve got a manual handling course at 10am so hopefully I’ll be up moving a lot during that. If it’s just sitting and taking notes there’s a 99% chance I will nod off. Can’t even nap when I get back home because I’ll need to get lunch then get my bus back to work. Yay!

Keep your back straight.

Bend at the knees not the back.

Don't overreach.

Only lift what you can handle.

There you go, manual handling training complete and in a nutshell.

You can go to bed with my permission.

Urgh, I hate that. Had to be the right duration to give you a wee boost but not enough to make you more tired. I’m rubbish at getting the balance right

Last update; I have survived the day. I am exhausted and spent most of my afternoon moving the classroom about, but it’s kept me busy. God bless you all
