[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 998820, member: 42554"] Try taking only a 45 minute nap. That's what the FAA recommends for pilots, and from my personal experience it seems to be the perfect amount of time to give you that boost yet not have you groggy. B complex vitamins seem to work wonders too. The cover board in Feeders can be brutal for the first few years, bouncing around from nights to days. Every location has their own convoluted way of doing things so learn it forwards & backwards so you can make the schedule work for you. Perhaps bid on that crappy run that just goes back and forth to the rail if it gets you a set schedule and a routine. I thrived on the cover board and have only come off it when a run that appeals to me is available. It's a different lifestyle that's for sure. As far as eating/ drinking I like unsweetened ice tea and the occasional energy drink if I'm dragging. Fruit, veggies, and too often it's chips but I have a salt craving. I like a hot meal so I bring something substantial like a burrito or a tupperware of chicken & rice etc that I can nuke and eat rather quickly. [/QUOTE]
