10 Tips to Surviving the 3rd Shift

I have been working this shift now for over 2 months. I am still getting used to it. I think the hardest part is the sleep deprivation. It is really easy to lose track of time when you are watching a football game (as I did today).

I am trying EVERYTHING I can think of to stay awake. Here are some tips!

Make sure you drink plenty of caffeine. This is a no brainer.

Get the blood flowing. Walk around the campus on breaks. Get some fresh air. This will reinvigorate your mind.

Write blogs making fun of your insane coworker.

Watch every touchdown that Devin Hester has ever scored.

Chat with the few insomniacs on your buddy list.

Do your best to not think about the fact you have only gotten 3 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours.

When it is slow, take 10 min naps. This is essential.

Send mass text messages to the insomniacs on your cell phone.

Surf the web to find out ways to make money so you will never have to work this shift again!

Cheers!
