Some people cannot stay alive without sleeping at night. The graveyard hours are the hardest to keep awake. 12 midnight to 2 am probably. Try Red Bull. Iron Vitamins can also help. You cannot stay on a night shift forever. I had experience staying up awake past 12 midnight. Later I found myself falling asleep even when sitting down. My brain becomes uncontrolled in sleeping. You need medical help.

Take a nap about 15 minutes on graveyard hours.

If tea and coffee do not work with you anymore, I am thinking if you can try the so-called energy drinks like the Lipovitan. Lipovitan's unique blend of essential B vitamins, Taurine, royal jelly, and ginseng work synergistically so your food gives you sustained energy enabling you to effectively face the mental challenges and physical demands of your daily life. I am sure this will give you much energy thoughout the night. Also in my mind is the Red Bull. Look at the grocery store and ask them what are the otehr energy drinks available from them.

well for me the best effect that coffee can give it is that it makes me relax...no matter what my problems are, it destresses me..

I used to work 7pm to 7am, so I know what you're going through. Any kind of soda kept me awake. Probably because I rarely drink soda. Ice cold water also worked. The best thing is to get up and move at least once an hour. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Maybe you should breathe deeply when you are dozing,after all too much coffee is not good to your health
