Any suggestions?

Posted by blue_eyes on October 05, 2002 at 16:25:35:

Hey all! I just found these forums. They are great. Any ways, I was wondering if you all could help me...

I work 2 jobs, one full-time, and the other shift work. My full-time is 9-5 Monday to Friday, and the other is a few nights of the week plus weekends (between 15 and 25 weeks a week).

My question is (if anyone can help me)...does anyone have any suggestions for me to wind down quickly after getting home from my second job, so that I will be rested the next morning to go to my full-time job? I get home about 11 in the night, don't get to sleep til 1 or 2 and up again at 6:45. This is just not enough sleep for me, but can't afford to quit one job. The weekends, I usually work Saturday and/or Sunday and have no time to sleep in.

Help,
blue_eyes
