[calais_304]

Hi all,

have a nap on your lunch break. youll feel fine

[-scyth-]

Berocca's alright. it doesn't give u a big pick u up type feeling, but it doesn't make u more tired than usual in the arvo Ive found. I take berocca in the am. Other than that, don't over eat, cause that slows u down, goto a boost fruit juice bar & get a banana smoothie with extra honey in it & lots of vanilla ice cream. all that sugar combined with some carbs that uve already eaten for lunch/breaky will start to work & may sustain some degree of energy before knock off time.

lol no no can't be doing that, i'll get no work done :P should have really stayed home this is annoying and frustrating

[Stressball]

Just don't try to take Berocca without water. My boss discovered that when it gets stuck in your throat, there is enough moisture to make it fizz, but not enough to dislodge it He left little patches of discolouration all over the concrete hehe.

Hehehe, I need help too.

Last night was my second night in a row that I had about 1 hours sleep.

I seriously considered not coming in this morning.

I can join the lack of sleep club at the moment too.

What's working for me today is just getting on with my work. This is the first decent break I've had so far. I'll be dead tired this afternoon though.

[calais_304]

im tryin to smash the work out but i just keep losing concentration and almost passing out lol...and realising im losing like 5in here and there just because im off in my own world...few slaps and im back but it just keeps happening....grrr

going to go for a walk at lunch get out and get some fresh air bit if exercise and find this boost place lol...that should fix it

[EvoVIIIJDM]

im continually living with around 2-3 hours sleep lately, junior is having a growth spurt and does not respect sleep time. Anyone looking to take him off my hands for a night lol?

[aella]

Go to the servo, and get a little pack of those "no doze" tablets of those little drug stands they got.

[DANNY8]

You could try NoDoz' (pronounced 'no doze') .....dunno how to spell it, but I get asked about it a lot at the servo on weekends.....apparently all the young lads take them so they can stay up all night lol.

EDIT...

All good now, but then exam block starts and you miss out on even more sleep and you have 8 times the amount of stress.

I know I'd much rather stay up late playing 360 and watching movies then studying

[nicko]

im doing a teaching degree bax. I have 1 exam in 4 years and its a take home exam i have 2 weeks to finish lol. 3 1/2 month holidays now so plenty of 360 and beers

4 weeks ago on a wednesday i was feeling tired.... anyway i was cutting something and i slipped and half cut my finger off. yep the bone and nail stopped the knife from going the whole way through so its ok lol. but ahh that woke me up. should try it some time

[vnrockit]

Double shot coffee from muzz buzz does the trick for me
