What are some ways to help you stay up through the night?
to get the most sleep during the day we darkened the bedroom with heavy curtains and used fans so outside noises would not awaken.
power naps was also mentioned. with practise you learn to sleep 10-15 minutes at a time in a pinch or combine your meal and breaks for a longer nap. however, sometimes you wake up more groggy from these longer naps.
I would make more frequent stops to walk around the trailers and bump tires and check airlines. bosses didn't like that sometimes but too bad if i needed to be refreshed.
also fresh air by opening the windows on a cold night.
running around the trailers also helped wake me up if i could feel myself getting stale. gets the blood flowing to the brain.
coffee and energy drinks help a little but if you are real tired it really doesn't help. nothing usually works but real rest like a power nap.
