I mostly work across departments from logistics, purchasing, sales, accounting, taxation, legal and more departments within the company. All those work I've done from them there is certain works that made me really sleepy. Contracts, it really makes me feel dizzy all the time that I had to keep moving in my chair, try to stretch and turning, bending my neck. And when I can't really help it to stay awake, I sleep on it. Lol! took a nap in sec. I used the contract as pillows. no worries the contract wasn't crumpled. Ahhh! Paperworks I have to finished that I honestly interchange the amount in quota and the amount of support. Photo from earlier during breaktime. My officemate are craving cheese stick that they wrapped the cheese in a lumpia wrapper not its usual size.

Work makes me sleepy at work. My work mostly involves speaking to people on the phone, which I don't like anyway. While cases can vary in their content and no two-days are the same, it can be tiresome at times.

@Jehanne Luckily, we don't have many bad tempered customers, and we are trained to deal with them. Our main problems are people who can't hear properly, people being given our number for everything whether it's appropriate or not, and some people who ramble but don't actually tell you what they want!

That kind of work isn't for me. If you were handling a bad temper customer, I can't. It makes my ear ring and echoes might never end.

It sounds like that would make me sleepy too. At my last job, I always had to talk to people, so I rarely got sleepy, although so much talking would give me headaches. I was not born a talker!

Nothing anymore because I’m retired. However, anything made me tired because I am not a morning person. I had a sticker on my computer that says, “I don’t like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.”

@Jehanne — that’s me as well. I love going places during the week, when it’s less crowded.

that's understandable, you should enjoy your own time as much that morning people should not disturb you. Ahhh! People. It's not that I don't like people I just don't like crowds.

Looking at a computer screen a lot does make me sleepy which results in my having to leave my room to walk around the house to stretch my legs.

@Jehanne That is true since I learned that the hard way.

that's good because sitting all day can be boring as well aside from feeling sleepy.

I think that type of work would make me very sleepy too. At least those contracts are a good pillow for you
