How best can I stay awake to work for long hours with full alertness?

Answer 1

Caffiene will keep you alert when feeling tired how ever you will need take more and more to fight the effects of tiredness, and it is also addictive. Another side effect will be a sudden crash if you dont maintian the levels in your body. One minute you will be awake and alert the next you will find that you have no energy and feel reallly tired. You should be aware that by working long hours at full alertness is detremental to you health over long periods of time. It disturbs your sleep pattern and causes you to become less alert.

There is also the practical issue of determining the level of fatigue at which performance poses a real risk. How do we set standards for fatigue? How much fatigue is too much? We recently compared the effects of sleep deprivation and alcohol intoxication and found that after 17-19 hours without sleep, starting from waking at about 0600 hours, individuals' performance was equivalent to or worse than at 0.05% blood alcohol concentration.15 In other words, commonly experienced levels of sleep deprivation—one extended day for a well rested individual—had a profound effect on performance. At around 2230-2430, well before reaching the circadian trough in alertness, performance levels were low enough to be considered incompatible with safe driving in many countries.

Answer 2

Make sure you take breaks; by law, you should get 2 15-20 minute breaks every 8 hours of work. So, get up, walk around, if possible, go outside and take some breaths of fresh air.

Drink water to keep hydrated. Eat healthy, not junk which will make you feel sleepy just as too many carbs will do too.

When you begin to feel like you are sleepy, move around and splash some cold water in your face, take deep breaths. During your lunch break, take a power nap for no more than 20 minutes.

Answer 3

The best way to keep good mental and physical health is to try and get your 30 minutes walk in each day and resolve any issues/problems you have within that day without the use of alcohol or other drug. I always find that some relationship(work or personal) problem sometimes causes me worry/resentment or fear especially if I haven't asserted myself in certain situations.So I review each day to see if I have been dishonest or self seeking and apologise if necessary. If I feel someone has wronged me then I try and face that person with what has offended/hurt my feelings.That way I don't harbour resentments.If you do all that and get an early night then you should be like Popeye on spinach.Good luck.
