| Ways to Beat Dozing Off at Work |

One of my officemates wrote this blog and it is quite interesting to know how she managed to stay awake!
A blog from Mau -
As I am doing this, I am really fighting the urge to doze off. Why? Well, because I am at work and I really need to stay awake. But with the rate that I am going through, I can’t seem to find my grip. My mind likes to stay in the dreamland. And my eyes can’t stay open long enough.
I am not often like this. But it’s unfortunate that my shift starts at 6 AM. And for a night owl like me who is most functional when the moon can already be seen at the dark skies, every day at work is a challenge to stay up and about.
I am doing everything for my body to adjust. I sleep early. I drink coffee before leaving the house. I turn to sodas when I am already at my desk feeling drowsy and sleepy. But nothing seems to be working. Because I sleep early, I tend to wake up at different times during the night. So when my alarm goes off, I still feel like I haven’t had enough.
Coffee and sodas have become too addicting and my body is like already immune to these. As a result, no matter how many cups of coffee or how many cans of sodas I drown myself with, I am still sleepy.
If you have the same problem, here are some tips that we may all start working out.
1. Stand up from your seat. Walk to the rest room or somewhere near every thirty minutes or so.
• I have already tried this though. I even rode the elevator to go down the building and up in a jiffy. But when I go back to my seat, I am still sleepy.
2. Sodas can be addicting. (See, I told you.) It has a high fructose corn syrup ingredient that stays in our mouths and tongues all day. As a result, we will taste it long after we have drunk the product. This also goes for coffee. It is recommended to try apple for this purpose.
3. On a trip to the bathroom, try splashing some cold water on your face. This will freshen you up and will also lessen the frequency of your trips to dreamland.
4. Drink a lot of water. This is good for your body. And this will also make you stand up frequently to go to the bathroom.
If the above mentioned won’t work, try looking at some postcard design and ponder about your other options. Maybe you really are not fit for your shift. And the best way to fight sleep is to find another job that will not force you to wake up at an ungodly hour.
** interesting right? any advice for her?
