[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 990386, member: 4568"] No caffeine for me, gave it up years ago. I drink lots of water and like the other guys said eat light. Protein shakes, almonds, apples, etc. I stay on the cover board so I may be on nights, afternoons, or mornings on any given week. No matter what my schedule whenever I wake up I head straight to the gym. I know it seems that working out would make you tired, but it does just the opposite. It will increase your energy levels. You may want to look into some vitamin supplements also. l take a handful of those everyday too. Listen to your body and don't be freaked out if you sleep less some days than others. Putting that "need to sleep" pressure on yourself will make it worse. I try and keep a positive mental outlook too. It is easy to get sucked into all the negativity that goes on in the feeder dept. Everyone complaining about the company, schedules, sleep, equipment,driver vs. driver feuds etc, etc. Engaging in all that will wear you out. Distance yourself from it if you find yourself in the middle of it. Trouble Maker had a good point, call someone. It makes the time go by faster and can keep you focused. Crank up the satellite radio and rock on down the highway. And look around at all the freaks that are out in the middle of the night, that will make you laugh. Just realize you will have some days that are better than others. It's not package car, but it is still UPS. I hope it gets better for you. [/QUOTE]
