I am disabled for the past 20 years! But when I worked, I worked night shifts! Took me awhile to learn how to sleep at night!

One day at a time. I have been fired numerous times and now I don't give it a second thought. I don't need the added stress. I work and then if I am tired, I take a break. If I don't feel comfortable driving to a customer, I reschedule. I am sick and tired (no pun intended) of making excuses so now I don't. I am a good worker and if that is not enough, I will find something else.

I started Keto diet! It is supposed to give you more energy! We will see what happens! I hope it does!

I used energy gum. It's the same as 1 cup of coffee. On bad days I eat 5 at a time. On good days I go through 3-5 a day. It doesn't taste great and you will want water because it has almost no sugar but it works. I ussually take it as I'm crashing. I also do coffee. I drive 300-500 miles a day and work 13 to 18 hour days. The sugar your taking in will make you sleepy and too much coffee is hard on the stomach.

I’ll be honest. I couldn’t do a job where I sat down at a computer all day. I would be fired in 48 hrs.
