- JARSInc, on 01/25/2008, -2/+49When he said commando I thought he was suggesting not wearing underwear.
- morningmatters, on 01/25/2008, -2/+31The best way to avoid falling asleep at work is to find a job which you actually enjoy.
- fdw2006, on 01/25/2008, -2/+28It would take nearly an act of God to keep me awake in some of these meetings I have to attend. I get enough sleep and have energy when I am not in a meeting, but boredom always overpowers me when I have to listen to something that doesn't pertain to me at all.
- rpi22, on 01/25/2008, -2/+23OMG! How did mr baby man make front page with less than 3000 votes?!?!
- segiterrus, on 01/25/2008, -1/+19ill go Commando!
- Barbosa, on 01/25/2008, -0/+12First thing you need to do is get off digg and get back to studying...
- iRaachie, on 01/25/2008, -0/+12Reading stuff must be hard. I think you've just proved it. Multiple diggs compared to your negatives. Your point just fell through.
- yfguitarist, on 01/25/2008, -0/+12Seriously. "DON'T: Lay your head down." Buried as useless.
- FatLoser, on 01/25/2008, -0/+11Your medal is in the mail. Wear it proudly!
- JaredXM, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10Keeps me going for days.
- Marijuana, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10I was disappointed, I was hoping this article would be more about body or mind "hacks".
- oreonblade, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10I just go to the bathroom and fall asleep in a stall, using the toilet paper rack as support. Faking constipation helps in case anyone wonders what youre doing in there for such a long time
- inactive, on 01/25/2008, -0/+7perfect, im studying for a physics exam and i need to stay awake because i am screwed tomorrow.
- TiMMY8765, on 01/25/2008, -0/+7its easy to stay awake once I'm up. the problem is getting up in the first place
- edwartica, on 01/25/2008, -0/+6Don't worry, you'll finally pass the fourth grade one of these days.
- iRaachie, on 01/25/2008, -0/+6Well if its going to keep me awake . . .
- iRaachie, on 01/25/2008, -0/+5Annnd yet you're still getting buried. What my point is YOU couldn't understand the CONTEXT of the comment that JARSinc made. (Thats obvious) THATS what I was commenting on, and apparently, IT MADE sense to others that dugg me. The end. Anything else you have to say is probably just as irrelevant as the comment you just made. Thanks for the free entertainment.
- WiseElben, on 01/25/2008, -0/+5I can't tell if this is a parody because there are so many stupid things in there. For example:
"Staying Awake in Lecture Hall
Online activity: this wasn't around when I was in college, but I would imagine if you're in the back of the class you could surf the web, email your friends, and read Dumb Little Man."
What's the point of being in class if you're just going to be surfing the internet? The way I see it, if you're too tried to stay awake in class, don't even go. Take a nap and stay awake for the next one. - rarson, on 01/25/2008, -3/+8Join the military. You'll get tons of practice at staying awake despite being completely exhausted. Especially if you wind up on a submarine where the oxygen level is usually below 19% and everyone gets woken up for fire drills.
- Rsulliv1, on 01/25/2008, -0/+4Since this post should have been called, " how to sleep when you're tired at work/school".. I'll give the one useful comment I saw on an earlier digg article:
Sleep on your desk with your head between your hands.. When someone wakes you up, wait a second and say: "Amen". - KiwiMark, on 01/25/2008, -0/+4I love my job. But yesterday I thought I was going to faint because I was so tired. I find the best cure is not hammering the JD's the night before. It's never worked, but it's my only hope.
- ThickFog, on 01/25/2008, -0/+4In your mind put "in bed" after every sentence said by your teacher, coworker etc. Always makes for enough laughs to keep me awake
- vibrokatana, on 01/25/2008, -0/+4No, your ass will just look like a cork that needs to be shoved into a bottle, out of site.
- Rsulliv1, on 01/25/2008, -1/+5I have to disagree.
1. ) Go home and sleep?
2. ) drink coffee?
3. ) take a nap?
4. ) take a nap?
5. ) take a nap?
6. ) take a nap?
7. ) move your body?
8. ) talk to people?
9. ) avoid work; do bare minimum?
10. ) break for five minutes each hour to "shut your eyes"?
etc...
IMHO, buried. - azAZ09, on 01/25/2008, -0/+4fta # "14 Commando" Now where i come from this means something different than what the author intended. Here I was trying to imagine how no underwear would help, but the following sentences seem to have nothing to do with "going commando".
- ArthurSucks, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3I work graveyard shift at a warehouse. Sometimes the only way to stay awake is to just work as fast as you can. Break a sweat and get your heart rate up. I do this 4 outta 5 days a week. Then I fall asleep in the car on the way home.
- mal1964, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3!,How to stay awake while reading this story.
- Whaines, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY1Pl1zGowc
- Culero, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3your ass will fall out if you sit on the toilet too long
- sputza, on 01/25/2008, -1/+4Its called coffee.
- courtjester555, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3Doesn't work for school though...some required classes are just that boring
- JaredXM, on 01/25/2008, -2/+5It's impossible for me sometimes to stay awake in a lecture hall. Not that I should be tired, it's just the professors are so boring.
- DonJohnTom, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3who says i want to stay awake at work or school?
- iRaachie, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3"Keep in mind that, as a rare female on digg, you get horny diggs as often as ones based on agreement with your comments. Get yourself an ambiguous username and lose the picture and see how much attention you get."
You're so full of *****. I'm getting dugg because I just made A POINT. You didnt.
And you wanna talk USERNAMES "FATLOSER?"
You hear that? Its the sound of ANOTHER POINT BEING MADE.
And don't even talk comprehension. CONTEXT is COMPREHENSION. And you LACK it. - edwartica, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3How do you know this? Can you see your ass after doing this? Do you look in the mirror or something? Or do you just look at other people's asses?
- HalFTW, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3It's 5 AM and I am writing assembler for an assignment due in later today. If it wasn't for the copious amounts of caffeine I have been consuming I would be screwed. Now I will have some backup if #13 starts to fail me.
- KiwiMark, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3It may sound stupid but most of what this article says in very true.
I have been suffering very late night, very drunk hangovers at work for well over ten years. The best thing to do is the avoidance game. I wander around doing things that could be possibly work related but I never get time to do. Go have an non work related chat to that person in finance who you only speak to when you need something. Tidy your desk. Check digg every 10 minutes.
Pick up some rubbish or clean around some area that never gets cleaned (complaining about the mess to people helps too). Go to the toilet loads and splash watter on your face.
Best of all, and used sparingly, tell everyone you meet up with your best mate who has been living overseas for the last 5 years and was only in town for one night. Finish the conversation with "God, he's a good mate, but I'm glad he's gone, a week catching up would kill me". - edwartica, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3They call it work for a reason. If it wasn't work, they would call it super happy fun time!
- rarson, on 01/25/2008, -0/+3By the way, that was sarcasm. You will get tons of practice if you do, but I don't really recommend anyone join the military unless they really want to... or maybe if they're some kind of masochist.
- BenBenMan, on 01/25/2008, -1/+4MOV stomach, coffee
PUSH assignment
??
... NOP? - tgc1, on 01/25/2008, -0/+2I chose my own line of work, working for myself, and trust me... it's A LOT harder than you think. Work is work, there's no escaping it. No matter how much you "enjoy" it.
- razorsedge555, on 01/25/2008, -1/+3Ya know, nothing helps ya through graveyard shift better than meth. Just make sure your boss is on it too.
- INDOAZZ, on 01/25/2008, -3/+59. Pace Yourself- seems to happen almost constantly at my STATE JOB.
- julc, on 01/25/2008, -1/+3Most of these won't help -- unless your primary concern is keeping up appearances in front of others. Otherwise, it won't matter that you've successful managed to keep your bleary eyes half open if you cannot concentrate on your job or school work. As a grad student, I'm always shocked to see undergrads sleeping or screwing around in lecture. If you're zoning out (and not learning anything), why bother coming to class in the first place? You might as well have gone home and slept!
Some of my med school friends (on their ridiculous rotations) swear by the power nap + coffee rule. Drink a cup of coffee black and then take a 20-30 min nap. By the time you wake up, the caffeine will have kicked in and your body feels doubly rested. - getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2I've always been jealous of people who can take quick naps such as described above. It usually takes me 20-30 minutes to fall asleep normally, and that's when I'm not rushed!
- Marijuana, on 01/25/2008, -2/+4Marijuana keeps me awake believe it or not.
- Daedalus17, on 01/25/2008, -0/+2Or for those in the know "Whoop Ass!"
- lbeaty1981, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1I typically resort to taking notes in haiku about 10-15 minutes into our staff meetings. Keeps me entertained, and makes me appear as though I'm paying attention.
