Do you get sleepy at work?
Air traffic controllers aren’t the only ones falling asleep on the job. Overnight shifts or floating work schedules go hand in hand with fatigue. There are some things you can do to counteract that:
• Consolidate your sleep – you NEED 7 hours - in a row.
• At work, get up and walk around every half hour.
• Multitask. Doing one thing for an extended period of time just enhances drowsiness.
• Smell something sweet or strong. Mint, pine or even coffee stimulates the senses and can really help keep you alert.
