Or when you are sleepy, when you have taken strong doses of medicine, when you are not keeping well. If yes, What makes you work. Can some one list, what unforeseen things happen if one works under the above circumstances.

sometimes i do when its really urgent for me to complete a task in my office.I can overcome sleepiness but defintely difficult to work under heavy dosage of medicines as i feel much drowsy in that condition. It takes long duration to complete a work when we are in sleepy mood and offcourse possibility of committing errors can also occur.

YOu are absolutely right. The quality suffers. Instead, I suggest that somebody should take a break for 15 to 20 minutes, go round, wash the face, relax in a chair, (some offices, there are rest rooms) and then resume the work. It is much much better. Don't you feel so? If the work is not urgent, just for the same of completing one should not work, because quality definitely suffers.

Yep, sometime I do have a feeling of sleepy especially when I hve not enoug sleeping in the last Night. And hight pressure we are in, we feel pretty frustrated sometimes when too many orders come to us and plants are not able to give a better enough leadtime, complains come to us very often when this happens. And we seems to deal with too many customers, we couldn't finish all the tasks timely. And there are also some situations when we don't have enough power to make decisions though customers insist we should give them a firmed answer timely... But all in all, I believe it is still a challenging job and I do have leart quite some things here. B.rgds, Andy

Two generations ago, People knew how to fight it out. Sleep well (8 hours), exercise well, eat at correct time. These disciplines helped them to keep a good health and we fellows have given a go by for all these and are suffering now and then with all sorts of problems. Thanks for your intersting response.

Sometimes I work in a state of fatigue if I have something important to do. Usually I avoid working when I feel tired as it is no good to the health. Then I will stop working and go to sleep for a few hours. I love to work in a fresh mind when I feel good to make my work more effective.

It is better to avoid. Take 15 to 20 minutes rest and restart again. One would do better. That is a good idea to work when one is fresh. Thanks for your interesting response.

Fatigue will make me sleep all day without working. It's really uncomfortable when you work during fatigue. I hardly drag myself up just to force my body to do what it doesn't want to. I'll likely lay on the bed and drink some medicines. Mostly I will take vitamin C and drink some chinesse herbs.

Chinese have medicine for all pains and all body problems. It is always better to work for a set plan (with a few exceptions) and particularly if one gets a good sleep, one will not have to bother about the workload. Fatigue will not come near us. Also it is important to follow the standing positions and sitting positions.
