    Im starting to work graveyard shift for the next 8 nights. I gotta work 10pm to 8am. Any tips for staying awake, beyond lots and lots of caffene?

    I'm in the middle of a 7 day stretch of working 12 to 15 hour nights (88 hours in 7 days, blah), so I feel for ya.

    Browsing OT definitely helps, if you are allowed. Get this energy drink, as it has the most caffeine and no sugar, so you don't get the crash from a blood sugar drop a couple hrs after you finish the drink:

    <h2>Rockstar Zero Carb: Too Much Caffeine?</h2>
    During research for the caffeine database, we came across some interesting caffeine levels in Rockstar Zero Carb (check out the Rockstar graph).

    This energy drink boasts that it contains 50% more caffeine than other Rockstar drinks.

    Rockstar already pack a reasonable wallop of caffeine - so what does the Zero Carb have? A close read of the nutrition label tells us that:
    • 16oz can has 240mg caffeine.
    • 24oz can has 360mg caffeine.
    Congratulations Rockstar - you now have what is arguably the most potent energy drink on the market.
    Has anyone tried Rockstar Zero Carb? It has a very similar formulation to Sugar-Free Rockstar - in that it is sweetened with ace-k and sucralose (Splenda). However Zero Carb lacks some herbal ingredients such as Panax ginseng, Milk thistle, and Ginkgo Biloba.

    A lot of people like these hours. If you can go outdoors , take in some night air. When you get off, eat something reasonable and get right into bed. Irregular sleep hours AND Night Shift is brutal. Returning after a few days off is the hard part, just get into a routine, then stick with it.
