I work over nights, and I'm really bored!!! Trying my best not to smoke or eat too much because of it, and I've been actually keeping myself pretty productive but damn it's hard! Especially when I finish my work within the first 4 hours I'm here and have the rest of the night to just wander... so whats going on with everyone? I need some entertainment!!!

    I work nights too....and I only work the first 2 hours of my shift and the last 2. So I have to watch my intake also. I usually try to snack lightly instead of having full meals.

    Wow go you guys!!! I am literally the only employee here too so it's definitely boring, I've been trying to catch up on my German and learn to speak it some more, it sounds bad to complain about not having to work while being at work, BUT I don't like to always sit on my *kitten* staring at the tube!! lol

    That's awesome I'm always trying to look into my sleep habits because I do some crazy ****, what exactly do you look into like dreams, habits, sleep apnea?
  • Addis_Daddy12

    I run the studies that diagnose sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. I hook up leads and watch your brain activity, muscle tension, eye movement, leg kicks, and breathing patterns while you are sleeping.

    I work nights 11pm-7am in IT. Thankfully I don't have to be tied to my desk the entire shift. I can get up and walk around. On the weekends, I'll go walk outside for a couple of miles. That always gives me a boost of energy. I can't help with the smoking. Found it gross when I tried it in my early teens.

    a lot of soda and candy, chips, and a small pack of peanuts, so if i ever feel like having junk food i just grab a brisk tea (80 cals) & the small peanuts but i haven't had them in a long time. if i'm craving a soda i'll have the tea with half the cals as my treat

    There is a company based out of Alabama that I credit with saving my diet on a regular basis. They are called Milo's and they make tea products. Well they make a gallon jug of sweet tea that is sweetened with Splenda and has no calories in it. I drink about 2-3 gallons of it per week.
