I'm a single mother that works from 6pm to 6am Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and my mother watches my 2 year old son during the time I work and sleep. The problem is that she need to sleep during Monday morning cause she works on second shift, and all these year I can't keep a wake to watch my son. I make sure he's in a safe place before I fall asleep but I hate it cause I miss out on him half the day. I need so advice on how to stay awake.

The best way to stay awake is to stay active. Doing housework is perhaps the best use of your time but anything which keeps you on your feet should do the trick. Also avoid comfortable chairs and resist the temptation to just rest your eyelids for a second. Finally make sure you have breakfast as eating seems to put off the sleepy feelings for me, at least for a little while.

You're a human not a robot and you need your sleep. You're working 36 hours in 3 days. Most people only work 24 hours in that time. Get your sleep.

Coffe until you can get him to take a nap with you. that is what I used to do. I would drink my coffee and play with my son until it was nap time. I told him that it was nap time for both of us, and let him lay in the bed or on the sofa with me. Of course, I always woke him up when I got home, and told my sitter not to put him to bed too early.
