I drive to woodland car parks for my jogs and frequently see cars/vans parked up with just one bloke sitting there alone. Obviously just resting. Not up to anything else at all.bloggoth

Originally posted by KentPhilip View PostRecently I've been very tired in the mornings, purely as a result of an inability to go to bed on time the night before.
As my contract is in a fairly rural location I've just been driving to a layby next to a field at lunchtimes and having a 30-minute snooze on the back seats - I do have to say it perks me up quite well. Haven't YET been caught by the client.
Still it is a little more civilised than my previous contract, where I was kipping in the well of a shower cubical down in the basement, and the floor of a vacant floor of the office building (a bit dusty that one).
Anyone else have any interesting locations for tactical somnolence (power napping)?
If you're tired during the day then do something to up your energy levels. Failing that go to bed at a reasonable time.Comment

Did work at a company with a sauna and relax room.
No such luck at current client co, but I am just accross the street from a park by the lake so I may think about bringing in a blanket an go for a kip lunchtime.
Not the same as doing it on invoicing timeFiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

You haven't even mentioned house prices, the posters "obviously inadequate" vehicle or anything even remotely sexual. Now, I know you're new, but come on, do keep up at the back.Comment

going to bed early and getting a full 8 hours sleep is ideal, but some people have no option, some have babies that would wake them up at night, some have to get up at 4 am to commute etc etcComment
