I usually don’t sleep at night because my job requires me to work on the graveyard shift. I know you understand the feeling of staying awake the whole night. It’s not really normal because for 20 years of my life I always sleep at night and work at day time. Now, it’s the other way around.

I had to find ways to keep me awake. I usually drink a cup of coffee before I start morning and manage to finish a couple more until morning. I don’t want to be coffee dependent and so I started to research of other ways to keep me awake.

There are times that I would prick and pinch myself. The feeling of pain would surely make you awake yet as soon the pain subsides I feel sleepy again. I just realize hurting myself will not do too any good too.

At times, I would stand up every 2 hours, do some stretching and after awhile would return to work. Yet, instead of waking me up, stretching makes me tired that I just feel like sleeping on my bed.

One time, my mother turns on our old music player and she put on some old rare music on play. I never notice I was already dancing to the tune while working in front of my pc and humming. Guess what, the music makes working at night lively and keeps me awake. Alas, I found the solution to my problem!

Today, every time I start working at night, I make sure to turn on my mom’s old music player, put on some country music and start grooving. Time passes by so fast when the music is playing and I was never been sleepy again.
