I have been getting very little sleep because I work alot of hours each day. I am working seven days per week right now. I get so tired and so sleepy at times. I try to stay active and motivated to help my family though.

I hope it pays off in the long run. I think it will since I work with several sites each day. It wears me out though.


Does your work wear you out and take away from your sleep and rest time?

I take time out every so often, to rest, lie down, watch the television or just take a walk up the garden. Yes, sometimes I have difficulty in sleeping, but I keep a jar of lavender buds by my pillow. When I can't sleep, I unscrew the lid and the aroma helps me to sleep and sleep well.

Brightest Blessings.

My problem is that I work too many hours to help my family out. I do not have time for sleep but I get so tired. I lay down for a while when I can no longer force myslef to work more. I just don't have time to get more sleep right now.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Darkwing (7519)   ranked 448 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

I think you have to stop and take stock, my friend. Ok, you need to help your family out, but what if your health deteriorates too much from lack of sleep, and you end up in hospital? How would your family survive then, my dear? You really do have to take time to sleep, even if only in one or two hour naps throughout the day or night.

Take care. x

That is the same way here in my family. there is no time for me to sleep. I have to make sure to maximise my earnings online so we can make ends meet. I do not have time for much rest. Time is money when you work online also.

I know what you're saying. I get up around 7am each day and I work until 11/12. Then when I go to bed I can't sleep, thinking about what I could do to make more money. I am trying to make enough each month on here to keep from getting an outside job. But its not looking to good as of now.


myLot reputation of 93/100. stephcjh (22992)   ranked 19 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

I know what you mean. Some months go pretty good for me and some don't I never know what I am actually going to make because each month fluctuates. I am joined with alot of sites but some months there is more in earnings than others. I hope something works out for you soon so you don't have to go job hunting. that sucks. I hate that for you and me too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenofarms (1344)   ranked 673 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

I been talking with my husband about this but I'm not getting anywhere. sad He keeps saying eventually you going to have to get a job. He thinks I may beable to draw unemployment from past employer But I don't think so. I guess we will see.


myLot reputation of 93/100. stephcjh (22992)   ranked 19 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

That is a good possibility also. I don't know a whole lot about it though. I haven't spoke with you for a while now. I hope all is going well for you online. I wasn't sure if you already got a new job or moved yet either. Email me sometime.

you need to take a brake,your gonna wear your self out and end up sick then what good are you going to do for your family. you need to rest so you can help your family.

i have to sleep,i would fall asleep sitting right here. when i was younger they thought at first i had mono but its something my body is short on and i have to sleep. i have never been one to stay up late or go out to partys cuz i get tired and need to sleep. if one of the kids are sick or don't sleep well i have a really bad next day. i can't function at all. plus i don't have time with the three boys and the house. playing,cooking,cleaning and chasing i do all day i am so tired and lucky if i'm up for 30 minutes after the kids are in bed.
but really you need to take a brake,i know you want to help your family but try to take at least one day a week off. we don't want you to end up sick


myLot reputation of 93/100. stephcjh (22992)   ranked 19 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

Yeah, i know what you are saying but i do not have time to take off right now. We have to have the money for things and if I take a day off, we will get behind and I cannot afford that either right now. I have to keep pushing myself to get us further. I just hope it eventually pays off and gets us to where we need to be. My husband is trying to get a small side job too for a few days a week and that will help out alot also. Thank you for your concerns.

sometimes it does, but lately I haven't been putting much time in at home. I haven't felt that great the last few days so I need my rest. I am hoping to kick it back into gear tomorrow because we need the money.


myLot reputation of 93/100. stephcjh (22992)   ranked 19 out of 5,362 in sleeping  2 years ago

Same here. I have to stay focussed and motivates also because we really need the money too and have to have it. If I take time off, then we will get behind and that is so hard to catch back up when you work online. Online earnings take time and time is money. I hope you feel better soon. I hate being sick. That really gets me down and gets us behind too.

I don't get a lot of sleep during the school year at all. Between working full-time, going to school 3/4 time, and having my kids full-time, I just don't have a lot of time to do anything else. If I am not cleaning up the house, I am heading to work or getting some school work done. Ugh. Sometimes it just wears me out completely, but it has to be done so I suck it up. If I could make as much money online at home as I make at my job, I would gladly do it just to get some rest. Alas, I make very good money where I am at and I am not willing to give that up. So, I will keep trucking on!

This is a good discussion topic, not because that you are working long hours, but the topic of the discussion.

I am currently doing a refresher course for business studies and a time management person gave a talk last week and they talked about people working long hours. One of the things mentioned was the drop in productivity when people worked long hours. The quality of work dropped off through the long hours, in Australia that is called "presenteeism" as opposed to "absenteeism".

They mentioned that rest is important, no argument with that, to ensure quality work and to maintain health and vitality. Another thing they mentioned was that the bodies metabolism can slow down through fatigue.

Having said that I have worked the 16 hour days 7 days a week and it paid dividends for me. It allowed me to swap income for lifestyle and I'm sure that the long hours you are doing will have a long-term payoff for you and your family. It is hard but sometime you will sit back, relax and think this was all worth it and you will know when that time has come.
