Lessons From Work: How to Stay Awake

Another lesson from work, learning how to stay awake on third shift. According to one of my coworkers, I never look tired. Well, I haven't gotten used to this shift and sleeping during the day isn't my cup of tea. So, here are my simple steps to trying to stay awake during the graveyard shift.

Step 1: Do your job. If a resident pulls the call light you better get that! Frankly, do all of your chores before getting bored. 

Step 2: Find friends to talk to on Facebook or text. Or write a funny story using the stickers on Facebook. Or write an encouraging message to someone, it can really make there day. :) 

Step 3: Drink caffeine! I tend to drink coffee, or the occasional coke.

Step 4: Ride a stationary bike. We are lucky enough to have one of these at work. Actually had time to ride it last week.

Step 5: Write a blog post. That is what I did.
