I work a graveyard shift due to having to communicate with international employees, and I have a problem with staying focused after a specific hour. While I can measure my productivity as optimal from 11pm to 6am as serviceable and that I'm very awake...
...right around 5:50 am, I begin to get sleepy or tired or otherwise notice that the quality of my work degrades along with my performance speed. The last hour of my work is pretty much wasted.
Its frustrating because it almost feels like a regular cicardian rhythm is kicking him at that hour. I really don't want to be anything less than the best asset that I can be to my employers, so what would be the best way to maintain that focus? I've tried the usual method, being caffiene, and that seems to keep me awake without really improving my focus as I continue to make errors.
I suppose that another obvious answer would be to 'sleep more before work' but before I cut into my already limited daytime hours, does anyone have any advice or similar situation? I could modify my shift to increase an half an hour, giving myself 30 minutes of a break in the middle and as I live less than 5 minutes from work, that will allow me to nap for ~15 at home. Would that help?
