- Absalon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2rebard getting a dog will not get you up.. my dog sleeps in late. till noon with me on weekends. and i have to wake him up!
- jrsims, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You know, we live in crazy times. Everyone I work with complains about being tired almost every day (including myself), and I notice lots of people walking around the office like zombies. Oh, and coffee doesn't seem to help anymore either.
I don't remember this problem existing on such a mass scale just 4 or 5 years ago. It's getting really, really bad! - vuzman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yep, until you get fired... Then you learn that most work issues aren't taht trivial to your employer.
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay:
a) Stop staying up until 4 am. Yeah, yeah, I do it too, but if you knock off around 11 pm, you'll wake up earlier by default.
b) Get an employer who doesn't care much about what time you come in to work. I showed up this morning at 10 am. Why? Because I don't have a lot to do right now. An employer who insists that you be there on time every day is not one worth working for. Unless you have a McJob, your performance should be assessed based on if you get the job done, not what time you show up to the office.
c) In accordance with point B, be willing to work odd hours and work however long it takes to get the job done. This has its benefits, namely, it gets noticed when you come in at midnight to upgrade the servers during the only downtime they have, and so forth. If you want that sort of thing to count, never suggest that "well, since I worked at midnight, I'm leaving early today". You absolutely do not want your management to get into a pattern of thinking that suggests you work X hours per day/week/period. Instead, say "well, I had to come in at midnight, but I got it done", and try to say it without complaining. You want them to judge you based on what you do, not how long it takes to do it.
d) If all else fails, quit and find another job. Take a paycut if you have to. Seriously, nothing in life sucks more than working a daily grind. It wears a man down, and kills him before his time. - a1programmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He's been getting up at 5:00 A.M. for about 10 years (or more). I'm sure he knows something about it.
- Smiles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wouldn't have anything to do with everyone in your office being 4 or 5 years older, would it? Nah ... ;)
- BradMurray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Better yet, get a baby. It not only teaches you to live on very little sleep, but it teaches you how trivial most work issues are.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1lol
- rebrad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Get a dog. It will get you up.
- Ruckgesicht, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Full of bullcrap. Everyone in the modern world has a sleep debt; without it, yes, 8 hours and no more is acceptable. But with it, you will definitly need to sleep, naturally, quite a bit more than 8 hours. Don't shun your own body trying to make up for the damage you yourself has delt to it, most certainly not because some guy wrote it in a blog online that you read once.
- cards, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Again...how is this getting diggs? Who cares what this random guy has to say about waking up early?
- NoGoodTrick, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0^^^ me 2.......(sorry just trying to add some drama with my dots)
- RiPpeR, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0How this crap got so many diggs is beyond me
