Chocolate coated coffee beans.

Evil bastards but they work.

I regularly only have 3 hours of sleep a night (especially when the **** in the next room doesn't know how to use the ******* volume button on his ******* TV remote control).

I read this in your blog. Why don't you just get ear-plugs?

Attach micro switches to your eyelids, that when your eyes shut, this closes a relay which sends 60amps to the croc clips on your gonads.

Simples.

you have croc clips on your gonads?!?! :O

You could try plating stunts instead

So after working until 01:30 (having procrastinated like an expert), I couldn't get to sleep until 4. Brilliant.
Hectic documentation, planning and meetings ahead - please take the piss freely suggest coping strategies and share war stories below.

Zzzzzzzzz.

i did the same last night, had to crack something for the morning but thought it's Ok I can kip on the train - sadly the guy who came and sat next to me was the most obnoxious guys I've met on a train who was determined to sit in both of our seats - he fidgeting and squashed me for the best part of an hour and i quite honestly almost popped him....

my coping strategy is to smoke and drink coffee all day, fantasise about going to bed and generally feel sorry for myself , annoying thing is come 10 o clock tonight I'll be wide awake and will be having my best ideas - stupid brain!

That's because of the coffee. When I am knackered and need a good nights kip I make sure to switch from coffee to camomile tea around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

I do the same and typically stop drinking coffee mid afternoon and yet 11pm is still the time of day when I am most awake
Trying to get into bed and asleep by midnight is a struggle

That's why you need the camomile tea. It also helps to knock one out.

Suity didn't have to - He has (or until recently had) an assortment of ironmongery on them.

(Being at clientco I daren't look up the words, like Prince Alberts or Palangs or whatever, in case a giant picture pops up! )
