I'm super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, "we should just hire you now!" However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

Drink a cup of coffee THEN take a 20 minute power nap right after. Caffeine doesn’t clear the chemicals from the receptors that tell your brain you are sleepy. It DOES prevent those chemicals from binding for a while, so drink the coffee and immediately take a nap. Your body will clear up the Chema, and the caffeine will prevent the Chems still floating in your blood stream from making you tired again 20 minutes later

20 minute power nap

Just curious, how do you guys manage to do that? It can take me up to 2 hours just to fall asleep, unless I just woke up in which case I still shouldn't do that because few extra minutes of sleep just totally destroy me for the day.

20 minute Power Nap = lay down, close my eyes, think of nothing for 20 minutes.

It usually takes me an hour + to fall asleep but I still appreciate getting a few minutes to shut down in the middle of a tiring day.

You guys should try having kids. You'll learn to fall asleep within moments.

Miracle cure, I tell ya.
