How do you get sleep when working 2 full time jobs?
Asked by mb2
I know that I'm not the only CRAZY person in this world, but I am about to start working 2 full time jobs (9am-5.30pm & 11pm - 7am) as a Secretary and a Hotel Front desk Host. I've always had 1 full time and 1 part time job, so I'm used to distributing my energy that way. How should I plan my day? Travel time (one way) to work is roughly 15 minutes. I can dress the same way to both jobs. Help?

There are some great answers here on this board. It's nice to see others have done this and survived. Adjust your diet - lose the coffee,sodas, junk food. And if the energy drinks/power bars work for you, definitely consider them. Try to eat a good hearty lunch midday. Don't skimp on food. I'm not sure your have scheduled enough sleep time. You're going to need a minimum 4 hrs of sleep, uninterrupted. "Trick" your brain - change into pjs, darken the room, cool temp not warm in the room, maybe even a sound machine if you can sleep with one. Devote yourself to that sleep time but don't rush into the house fullspeed and expect to sleep right away. I don't recommend sleeping pills of any kind. Definitely trim your "prep" time down - short hair, little makeup, quick change clothes. And do eat breakfast Good luck and take care of yourself...

I had two jobs, last year when I lived in San Diego, California.
I would do this, at costco buy a flat of Rockstar energy drink, slowly drink this over the shift.
I figured out a place to sleep at the second job for power naps, at my job it was a library. Get a cell phone where you can set a alarm to wake you for twenty minutes power nap.

I used to have schoool and almost full-time on a job. I survived by managing my time and planning ahead, but I would say that it would be really bad for your health...So you should quit one of the jobs!
