Sleeping at work
I keep struggling to keep myself awake at work. Almost everyday, I fall asleep working. It isn't like I don't get a good nights sleep either.I go to bed at a respectable time (9:00 PM or 10:00 PM ish) and wake up at a reasonable time (6:00 AM). Sometimes I feel myself dozing off, and I catch myself and go to the water cooler. Sometimes it is just BAM and I am out. I don't know what causes it, like I said I get a good nights sleep. And I don't have sleep apnea, because they ruled that out when I went for my sleep test. Maybe I am bored working. But I am not bored. Maybe subconsciously I am bored, who knows. It is a repetitive job, and there is barely any natural light coming into the place, and really no outside air, because there are no windows in there, except in some of the higher-up's office rooms. Plus where I work is not on the "edge" of the building if you know what I mean, it is more in the middle of the building, so windows would not do anything, except look into other parts of the building. But I am just worried my boss will find me sleeping and fire me. I talked to my job coach about this. She suggested that we tell my boss about it before he finds out on his own, that way I'll look more responsible, but I am afraid either way I would be fired if he finds out either way. I was already caught once sleeping, not by my boss but by a girl who was going around taking lunch orders. This was like 3 months ago, and my boss hasn't said anything to me yet, so it is safe to assume that she didn't blow me in. Another thing I am worried about with this is embarassment. Do I snore when I fall asleep? My mom says yes when I sleep at home, but at work, who knows. I am sure people found me sleeping and thought it was funny so they didn't bother me. Also whenever I sleep at work, I get a sudden jolt and become scared for a few moments when I wake up. Very weird. Also When I do wake up, I am really confused and mess up on my bills, however you can always go back into them and fix them.
Anyway, taking the bus is way better than the cab, because I can come and go as I please. After I work 4 hours that day, I can go home. So I can get there at 5 AM and work till 9 AM lets say. I usually try to get there around 7:30AM so I can get out at 11:30AM. Today I did that, and went back to Gino and Joes at the Main place mall. I got 2 slices of brocolli and cheese pizza. I think I found pizza better than leonardis. Plus I loaded it up with garlic so I can smell like a true italian man. |
