That's what I had tonight, because I worked til 6:30 this morning, went to bed, did not dream of course and "woke up" at 7 and went to work.
It's not a long drive (30-40 min depending on my speed). But my eyes watered up and I couldn't see shit, my head got heavy and I felt like a drunk. Barely did it to work.... Went to the office and suddenly I was OK. Working fine, talking to colleagues etc.

But now that I almost finished my meeting duties and will head home soon, I feel tired again. Pax just brought me a coffein pill..

Any idea what else I can do to stay awake until I arrive at home? I was freezing like mad this morning, this always happens to me when I am sleep deprived Sad So I put the heater on full power but that made me only more tired Sad At least I had the radio...

caffeine pills and a little bit of exercise.

protip: anything below 2 hrs of sleep isnt worth it and just makes matters worse, unless its just a nap during the day. Smile

I know that feel Pumpy! Go to the bathroom and splash your face with cold water and try to keep the feathery body active like Zeel mentioned. Tea and coffee help as well. Warm environments on the other hand aren't recommended, you'll fall asleep instantly Razz

Damn, that ain't healthy! You should try and avoid such crazy work hours...

But maybe now take a 15 min nap in the car before you go (no more than that or you wake up feeling disoriented), and also cold air is better than warm to stay awake, so don't turn up the heat!

Make a cup of strong black coffee with no milk and no sugar. Set up alarm clock to 15-20 minutes, drink coffee and immediately go to nap.

After 20 minutes you wake up, still recovering from napping phase and BOOM caffeine kick-in and you a have a HUGE erection Very Happy

Thx Guys Smile I made it home and went to bed. Paxsalis coffein pill was super effective, though the idea with taking a nap in the car was quite good, didnt even think about that Smile When I woke up, I felt as if it was tomorrow morning but I only slept for three hours o_O

We even have campaigns like: "Tired? Stop and sleep 15min" along the road Smile

I worked in the office yesterday til 17:00 or so and then drove home. I ate some stuff, played some quake 3 with humpers and then went on to do the work I was supposed to deliver very urgently and I planned for two hours of work. So I started working on it and discovered, that they gave me wrong instructions as we had some newer piece of code and so I took my time, rewrote most of the stuff, and put a working presentable solution together. So this all happened at home and it was 6:30am when I was finished.

Went to work, showed it to my former chief architect and he said, yeah that is exactly what we want, we'll have the meeting with the managers from 10:30 to 12:30, I'll call you in between that time for 30 minutes and then you can present this.


Well fucking wanker did not call me, I told him I'll go for lunch and he said "oh, I guess they don't have time for it today" Rage


But at least my employer is cool with the working hours and office presence stuff. On wednesday I left my wife at the train station, came home, prepared myself and went to office. I was at 10:00 there and I talk to some people and 10 minutes later my wife calls "My sister feels sick and we can't find our keys".

Well, I packed my stuff, drove home and worked form there Smile
Fucking cunt. Next time they ask me for a favor, I'll let them beg.
