Not enough sleep, but I still have to work

Lately, I have to work overtime from my day job. I wasn't complaining at all, and conversely, I love to work overtime, which give me an opportunity to make more money, rather than staying home doing nothing at all. I also work on Saturday morning on these 2 weeks. Early in the morning, until noon time. These over time really add something to my paycheck, which will help me pay off some debt from the credit cards. Although it is little bit tiresome, I would enjoy it whenever the paycheck comes, and I knew that I have extra money. Anyway, today I only got 5 hours or less sleep, but I pretty much enjoy it. Hopefully my next paycheck would give me more money.

Same here. I don't get enough sleep, but I still have to go to work. But my lack of sleep doesn't come from overtime at work...it comes from having a severely autistic child that doesn't let me sleep. Happy mylotting!

Money is OK.. But please do not screw up your health just for some extra money.. Try to sleep for at least for 7 hours.. That will be good for your body, physically as well as mentally.. :) Hope for the best.. Good luck making money and your life.. :)

King, having the chance to earn some extra more of money is great. If i have that kind of opportunity, i would certainly decide like what you had done. Hopefully with that big paycheck, you will have the chance to clear more of your debts. Don't forget to have a balanced meals and sleep whenever it is possible. Health is important to everyone of us as well.

Who doesn't want to work overtime when there is extra money at the end of the day? Of course everyone wants to work for money. When I was young I usually worked overtime for extra money. My overtime exceeded the the maximum hours allowed under labor laws. The management allowed me to work over the maximum hours allowed under labor laws because at that time the company had just started and I was the only one in that department. There was any choice for me. I had to work overtime as nobody to replace me. I was the pioneer. In fact I liked to work overtime because of the extra money I could make.

I've worked on very little sleep before. It's been awhile but I have. It made me sick and so I quit that job. I guess I am just not cut out for too much work without a little play time as well. I hope you can get some rest soon though. The next day you have off I'd spend it resting up as much as possible. The extra money is great, but not at the expense of one's health.

I am the same as you are! :) It bores me staying at home and doing nothing. Its okay to not have enough sleep then work but don't do it often because it is not good. But, it good to hear that you have a goal that's why you're doing that! Good luck and do more!

As that is something you choose to do, it is all right to have not enough sleep as your OT will let you earn more. But you have to make sure that your body condition can take what you are doing. There is no use to have the will when your body fails.

I would like to have extra job also, not online, but I have no spare time for this purpose. Anyway my online job is enough for now. Although the earning is quite small, I could only save it until I would be able to use it to buy the things I want in the future.
