Airborne tips and memories on how to deal with sleep:

1. Push up twenty times. Do it as needed.
2. If in the guard there is a place and an opportunity - 1 set of special exercises for the Airborne Forces (well, or the second, etc.)
3. Pretty good rub your neck- "nape". Emergency remedy - helps well, but then you will want to sleep more if there is no activity.
4. Indeed, take in hand something like keys. But this is if the situation allows, because. there may be noise.
5. Learn controlled sleep so you can doze off even on march on foot, you can’t get anywhere from the system anyway.
6. If circumstances force you to stand on your feet, then get ready that you doze off a little, open your eyes, and earth or asphalt flies at you (loss of balance and falling face forward) is unpleasant. So it is better to walk along the wall - the body is not an enemy to itself and will fall towards the support.
7. Carry a few pieces crushed sugar - it is difficult to chew it until it resolves - you want to sleep less.
8. It helps me chewing gum with some sharp taste (such as eucalyptus, super fresh menthol, etc.). In extreme cases, you can just chew at least something (when the jaws move, the brain is activated, and it’s easier not to sleep). Pungent odors also act similarly (ammonia alcohol is suitable) - but on a more a short time enough. If you tend to fall asleep simply from monotony, and not from lack of sleep, then you can simply start thinking more concentratedly.
9. Seriously, the first thing you need to do is learn. sleep in any position(As funny as it sounds). That is, they began to sleep - immediately fell and immediately fell asleep. And learn to wake up without a command (remember how Stirlitz - "in 30 minutes he will wake up and go to work in Berlin"). Such controlled sleep for 5-10 minutes completely (from my personal experience) restores alertness. But the truth is, I don’t know how to be a sniper on a mission or an officer on the remote control of the Strategic Missile Forces. In general, in our battalion, all the duty officers and orderlies had nunchucks and a “Rubik's cube” for this case.
10. The proven way is half a glass of coffee add half a glass of coca-cola or pepsi. Good charge for 3-4 hours.
11. As a harmless dope, I recommend taking a tablespoon of vodka Rhodiola rosea root tincture(colloquially referred to as the golden root, although this is incorrect). 10-12 hours should be enough. By the way, after the expiration of the action, there is no such inhibition as, for example, after coffee, that you don’t care at all - just to fall. It is only important to observe the indicated dose, otherwise they wanted the best ....
12. I don't know how to anyone, but to me cup hot water helps. Drink a glass of hot water cold water- and I don't want to sleep.
13. I periodically escape from sleep by highlighting any moving object (even a pendulum, the main thing is that there are at least some changes or new sounds) and I constantly mentally pronounce the next change using new landmarks and epithets. Slightly zapalbivaet, but does not allow sleep!
14. To get enough sleep, for example, on a normal (not guard) night, you need to wake up every two hours and you fall asleep again. Helps a lot. It's like sleeping several times for 8 hours.
15. There is such a thing - lemongrass tincture on alcohol. After a few drops, I can't sleep for a long time. Another thing is that this tincture is hardly available to a fighter. Pharmacy should be nearby.
16. When there is a strong desire to sleep and the eyes are already closing, you can use the index and large press the bridge of the nose with your fingers at the same time- to places ... hmm ... where the eyes end and the nose begins (or vice versa). Pressing should be short, but strong.
17. The best “anti-sleep” is the realization that you may not wake up, or wake up from a blow to the kidney ...
18. Naturally, he could not afford any eleutherococci, coffee and other means in the army. In outfits, I struggled with sleep mainly cold water(washing, drinking), in the winter on guard - with a snowball, and even read different poems to myself when I stood on the bedside table as an orderly. When it helped, when it didn't.
19. All methods are good, but for the young, in the first post, only the “sado” method will remain - poke something sharp, although this is not enough for a long time, about 10 minutes.
20. In Ishim in the winter on guard, he fell asleep on the move, came to his senses already knee-deep in a snowdrift. Struggled - lying emphasis, and went to wake up and warm up. Of course, it distracts from the service, there were no other ways. And now take a nap for 10-20 minutes and order, or a jar of energy also helps.
21. During the exercises, we basically only searched at night and made marches. Only one simple remedy helped - periodically we went into forest plantations and moved along them for a kilometer or more. night dew, knocked down at eye level, carried away any dream. Although there were cases with me when I moved ten kilometers from open eyes and slept on the go, although he saw everything.
    Now, driving on the highway home at night in the car I periodically wipe my face and eyes with a wet towel soaked in cold tea.
22. In winter, sheepskin coats were given to fighters only if it was very cold - therefore they sleep like marmots, and so - if the outfit is in the company, then take an emphasis lying down and ... until it comes through the hands that you can’t sleep. If in the park - guard raincoat + duffel bag with sand (bricks "kill" the back) and service by the method patrol running- sleep as if by hand 🙂 It can be cruel, but effective. Name kick - only as a last resort.
23. The most effective motion. I have seen more than once - the soldier begins to chime at the post - immediately jumps up and begins to harness with a blow with his left or right foot and vice versa. From the outside, it all seemed absurd. But everything else - you will fall asleep like a gopher. I did it myself. Read about the Shutul tragedy in Afghanistan, when an entire unit passed out from fatigue on the glacier, and many lost their arms and legs from frostbite, and some of them walked away ... And so, in order to lie down and not fall asleep - I don’t know the recipes from the service.
24. gave special pills(I don’t remember the name), especially when they left at night. They were expired, so they acted after a much larger dose. With group "A" he sat in ambush, the men treated coffee with cognac, so the motor spun - the dream was taken away by the hand, and for a long time I could not fall asleep during the day. And so, when it’s all over, you lie down at night, waiting for luck with the “prey”, and between the Fighting Troikas the rope is stretched and it’s better to the leg or arm, the elders pulled each other like that all night long - they checked whether they were sleeping or not.
25. When you serve in the outfit - the best medicine from sleep than easy charging with large quantity push-ups, was not, and still use this practice at work. And in ambush at night I bayonet knife he put it to the chin when he fell asleep - he started to inject, and this injection was enough for exactly an hour.
26. Instead of coffee, chewing gum, and all that - an ordinary Apple! Helps me a lot!
27. Sleep threshold really is. Whatever you do, you'll be cut off. There is information about the Shutul tragedy in Afghanistan. When exhausted people just passed out on the glacier. Everyone, including officers. The result is a lot of frostbite with amputations. In our regiment (357th), the chief of staff called for water coffee at night. And they drank. I looked at the packaging - a coffee drink: barley, whatever, but not an ounce of coffee. Don't want to sleep sleep the day before. If you don't like it, you will reap the fruits of your own carelessness.
28. Most good way — stand on your head. The dream will vanish in a moment.
29. Abalakov cocktail. His " Ashniki" and " Vympelovtsy adopted from climbers. Abalakov is one of the "snow leopards". That was the name of the athletes who conquered all the seven-thousanders of the Pamirs.
    Recipe: 200 grams of cognac are heated to a boil, 200 grams of chocolate crumble there and the juice of two lemons is squeezed out. Very high-calorie, coupled with a sickly vim.
30. Once in January 2000, the commanders handed out 4 tablets each before an ambush on the l / s RGSpN sindocarb, and already when advancing to the ambush, reports went from the golovnyak - "commander, wolves without heads are running at us." On the road, when we ambushed, side patrols reported about columns of cars coming towards us. In general, glitches to the fullest.
    In another group, the radio operator, who was sitting in the center of the group with the commander, took 5 or 6 tablets at once in order not to sleep. When the CG went to check posts along the perimeter of the day room at night, the radio operator shouted “Russians don’t give up!” began to hit from his AKS at the returning CG, and then for another half an hour he fired around in a circle until the BC in unloading ran out. Good thing I didn't hurt anyone.
    We practiced in the winter coffee with cognac, a little bit to warm up from sleep, well, at the end of the exit, 1, maximum 2 tablets sindocarb.
    Back in the summer of 2001, 2 colonels from the St. Petersburg Navy came to test some drugs on us. At first they said that it was an analogue of Sindocarb, but from plant components. The company took the pills on the way out and everyone relaxed, they were drawn to sleep. It turned out that this is a means for prevention, like I ate it and everything was on the drum, you don’t feel fear. In general, when they were given to us, we, as experienced patients in mental hospitals, said “thank you” and quietly into the mud under the heel. In general, on business trips, I learned to sleep at any convenient moment, even in a turntable, while flying for 20-25 minutes to the drop zone. And in the PVD, and after the bath - it’s generally a nice thing.
31. On my "urgent" I basically interceded as sentries - more than 80 guards in a year of service. But in short, they squeezed all the juice out of us - therefore, soluble was considered the most effective dope. cheap coffee(2 tablespoons per half cup of water).
32. Of the "unofficial" but effective methods, we used our own natural erection. When you are on guard for 5 outfits in a row and you don’t understand shit anymore, then only thoughts about a naked woman and her “submission” can bring the body into vigor. Yes, I wanted to have sex incredibly, and this probably saved me. In fact, this can be called "mental" masturbation - there is a riser, but there is no continuation. After the recession and immersion in sleep - on a new one.
    I have not experienced psychological impotence for demobilization from the lack of “ending” in this technique. It was hard, and with this method even more stressful, but not a single "overslept" guard for the entire time of service.

Each of us had to deal with drowsiness. Just fine if you can take a nap for a few minutes. But what to do when in such a state you need to cope with important things at work? Let's find out how to deal with sleep in the workplace.

Causes of sleepiness

The obvious root cause of the occurrence of a drowsy state during wakefulness is the lack of rest. Modern people so busy with things that healthy sleep often just not enough time. During working week the body gradually accumulates fatigue, later taking away from the person those hours that were not enough for him to restore strength. The need for a solution important issues often makes you look for ways to deal with sleep at night. The lack of balance between rest and wakefulness subsequently negatively affects not only the conduct of business, but also the state of health in general.

How to fight sleep at work with coffee?

As you know, coffee is the most common caffeine is able to have a stimulating effect on nervous system for 1-2 hours and even more if you drink a strong composition. However, when the active substance is removed from the body, a person receives reverse effect. Without another cup of coffee, the state of being even more sleepy than it was initially rolls over sharply enough.

To maintain performance throughout the day, you need to be able to drink coffee properly. First, you should use a custard drink made from freshly ground grains. In the period from morning to lunch, it is worth drinking a few cups of strong coffee, gradually reducing the amount of drink consumed in the late afternoon. Thus, you can stay alert for a long time, having figured out by personal example how to deal with sleep.

Strong tea

Strongly brewed tea invigorates no worse than good coffee. Both green and black tea can be a great source of energy in the morning. Moreover, unlike coffee, at the end of the invigorating effect, fatigue does not pile on a person.

To cheer up and stimulate attention, it is enough to use a few teaspoons of tea leaves per capacious mug while preparing the drink. Tea should be infused for about 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, you can prepare a drink in a thermos, periodically saturating yourself with energy throughout the day.

Garlic

Many people notice that after eating a meal with an abundance of garlic, it is no longer necessary to think about how to deal with sleep for the next three to four hours. Enzymes in garlic have an excellent stimulating effect on the heart, forcing circulatory system function more actively.

As practice shows, in order to long time to drive away sleep, you need to eat at least 3-5 cloves of garlic. Enough education bad smell this option is not very popular for people who need to go to work. However, this solution may well be useful to a motorist, fisherman, watchman or security guard.

Energy drinks

With the right approach to use, energy will allow you to find the answer to the question of how to deal with sleep at work. Most often, caffeine is used as the main active ingredient here. In combination with vitamins, which are also present in the composition of energy drinks, the body receives the much-needed boost of energy.

In order not to harm the body, energy drinks should be used correctly. If you experience a feeling of drowsiness, you should drink about 300 g of the drink in one sitting, gradually drinking one sip at a time until the body requires rest with a vengeance.

The next time you use an energy drink, its amount should be increased. The thing is that the body is able to develop a sense of tolerance to active ingredients similar funds. In other words, the previous amount of energy next time may not bring the same charge of vivacity as before.

How to deal with sleep while driving?

It is one thing to overcome the onset of drowsiness while at your desk, and quite another to try to confidently lead vehicle. How to deal with sleep while driving a car? The main way to eliminate the feeling of drowsiness here is the stimulation of the nervous system. Let's take a look at a few proven methods to keep a driver out of a dangerous situation:

1. In order not to fall asleep at the wheel, it is worth placing several bright flashing light sources in the field of view.
2. Chewing gum will allow the body to be active, which will force the muscles to remain mobile.
3. Dramatically awaken the senses will help inhalation of vapors of mint essential oil.
4. One of the most common ways to fight sleep while driving is to listen to active, but not annoying, music at high volume.
5. If an attack of drowsiness is complemented by a feeling of pain in the eyes, it is worth opening the window, exposing your face to the wind.

What to do in cases where none of the above tips gives the expected result? In such situations, it is better to stop the car on the side of the road and rest for a while.

Activity in the workplace

In addition to the use of substances that have a stimulating effect on the nervous system, you can try to "deceive" the brain by performing active body movements. If you have to sit in front of a computer for a long time, you should rub your palms, wrinkle your earlobes, stretch, straighten your spine and limbs, stomp your feet, turn your head.

A good solution is to occasionally get up and walk around the room. To stay energized as much as possible long time, it is enough to periodically wash with cold water, as well as go outside and breathe fresh air.

Finally

Using the above recommendations, it turns out that it is quite simple to cope with bouts of drowsiness in the workplace. However, if you feel tired, you should set aside about 15-20 minutes for yourself during your lunch break to take a nap and gain strength. Such a decision will not allow the body to finally get out of the rut.

Another thing is when a child struggles with sleep. To make the baby rest during the day, it is necessary to exclude all factors that can have an irritating effect on the psyche, in particular, watching cartoons, active games, eating food and drinks. Ultimately, you need to teach your baby to fall asleep every time at a set time.

An article on how to wake up in the morning or how to deal with sleep so as not to sleep for a day, I was prompted to write after I could not find in the search engines at least somehow combined in one place tips for dealing with sleep in situations that are not compatible with rest.

For example: I did not sleep all night, and no one canceled work and it is necessary to arrive on time and in full dress, then the question arises: How not to fall asleep at work.

Either you need to drive all night, or night duty does not allow you to take a horizontal position and many other situations. Below I will talk about ways to deal with drowsiness, tested on personal experience.

Ways - How not to fall asleep, if you really want to, but you can’t:

As you know, any exercise stress allows you to raise the pressure and thereby drive away sleep for a while. Drivers are probably the most familiar with this method because it is often used to cheer up. Regardless of who is trying to wake up, the driver or the manager in the office, one rule must be remembered.

In order to raise the pressure in the body and thereby cheer up, you should not resort to heavy loads, it is enough to actively swing your arms, legs, rotate the body, run in place and other active fitness for several minutes.

I can advise from personal experience such a simulator as a skipping rope. And it takes up little space and needs a little space for use, if necessary, you can warm up very quickly or build up pressure on the body to drive away sleep.

With loads with weights, push-ups, squats with weight, pull-ups, etc., it takes significantly more energy and after a while fatigue will appear, and this is inevitable - sleep. Therefore, to combat sleep, light exercises are required that accelerate the pulse well, nothing more.

The benefits and effects of coffee on sleep

The subject of the invigorating effect of coffee is actively discussed on the Internet, however, many questions remain about this for many. I will try to answer them and put everything in its place.

Coffee is not for everyone energy drinks, it is worth remembering

On the one hand, coffee is a delicious and invigorating drink that contains 120 healthy ingredients. One of which, caffeine, as well as a large number of vitamins and substances, vital necessary for a person. All of the above applies only to good insoluble coffee, in which the caffeine content is up to 2-2.5%. Caffeine stimulates the body for about 1-2 hours or more if the amount is exceeded.

When the amount of caffeine is exceeded, the body receives a good stimulating effect. But with the decline in the effect of caffeine, the body will get the opposite effect, a sleepy state will come several times more sleepy than it was before drinking coffee. Usually they try to drown out this state with even more coffee, for some time it can return to normal, but for a shorter time and in end result, with a stronger sleepy state.

The coffee morality is that drinking coffee, in order to cheer up, you need boiled ground, do not overdo it, both first and then, starting with one cup every 2-3 hours and, as it is, reduce the time between coffee drinks. Thus, you can stretch without falling asleep for a while.

Strongly brewed tea to invigorate drivers and at work

Strongly brewed tea, both black and green, can be an excellent source of energy for several hours, and the effect of tea caffeine is different from coffee, it does not pile on fatigue after the action expires.

The simplicity of brewing tea allows drivers to organize an invigorating and attention-stimulating drink almost on the go. The main thing is to always have a good thermos in the car to keep it longer, and boiling water can be found in any roadside cafe. 2-3 teaspoons of tea per half or whole mug (preferably a thermal mug with a lid), and after 10 minutes an energy-rich drink is ready.

One conclusion suggests itself that to stimulate the body it is better to give preference to strongly brewed tea than coffee, especially when driving on the road. But to overdo it with the use of strong tea, as in other cases, is not worth it. applied to strong tea is not more often than the body feels the onset of fatigue.

Cocoa as an ephoric energy drink for mild fatigue

We should not forget about cocoa, which can, with mild fatigue or in combination with other methods of stimulation, give a very good boost in vigor and mood.

Cocoa primarily acts on the receptor for pleasure and happiness, the properties of cocoa are also attributed to chocolate, which cannot interfere on the road or at work, in moderation of course. But these are all retreats, in fact, drinking 4-6-8 tablespoons of cocoa can get an excellent boost of energy and the hormone of happiness, which will not allow you to fall asleep for 1-1.5 hours.

There are no particular contraindications with cocoa, if the doctors have not banned it, drink as much as you like, if it has a positive effect on you and allows you to stay alert.

Garlic as a stimulant for the body

Perhaps some of you have already noticed that if, for example, when you come home from a frost and wrap cabbage soup with a significant amount of garlic, then falling asleep for the next 3-4 hours is simply not realistic.

And all because garlic also has the property of stimulating the body, it perfectly accelerates the blood and does not allow you to fall asleep for a long time. In order to drive away sleep, you need to eat at least 3-5 g of garlic.

I don't think so this way will be very popular among motorists, but, nevertheless, for example, for a security guard or on a fishing trip, this option may come in handy, with the condition that without alcohol, which does not care who to drive to sleep. ...

Why is night work dangerous?

It is known that a night's sleep is impossible to replace, even long rest days. Normal sleep at night improves memory and brain function the next day, links between nerve cells brain, which are the basis for the process of learning, memory, reaction.

During sleep, the brain "reinforces" the information received and does not allow it to disappear. Scientists recommend sleep at least 8 hours a day, but only 21% of adults have been proven to sleep right time. One in five sleep less than five hours a day.

About 70% of the daily amount is produced at night melatonin- a hormone that protects a person from stress and from colds and even cancer. It is he regulates biorhythms: helps to adapt to the change of day and night, hibernates animals and drives us to bed after dark. Hormone production begins to increase during twilight, reaches a maximum from 0 to 4.00 in the morning and decreases with dawn.

The change of day and night can lead to the development psychological problems, reduced immunity, susceptibility to infections, increases the risk of cancer by 20-40%, causes premature aging organism.

Natalya Doroshevich, head of the cardiological center of the Pervomaisky district of Minsk, offers following tips For those who work night shifts:

First, you need rotate work schedule every month, says the doctor. For example, a month of exercise and a month of a full night's sleep.

Secondly, it is necessary to organize complete day break: sleep, relaxing treatments, positive emotions, walks in the open air.

Thirdly, no need to stimulate your body with strong tea, coffee, coca-cola, cigarettes. Better, feeling drowsy, ventilate the room, make a complex breathing exercises and drink a decoction of wild rose or hawthorn.

Also not desirable eat fatty, high-calorie foods at night. Give preference non-starchy fruits, light dairy products. During daytime sleep you need to cover the windows with thick curtains, turn off the night light or TV, and when you get up at night to use the toilet, use the weak light of the night light.
