I work a job Monday through Friday from about 8 AM to 5 PM like most people

I could use some extra money so I applied for a couple part time jobs and I accepted one. It's overnights a couple nights a week and at least one night will be the same day as my other job so I'd be sleeping in short naps for a day or two.

Neither job is too physically exhausting..I thought I could pull it off but my alarms going off in about an hour and I've gotten no sleep this evening. I feel like I'm kidding myself.

Any of you tried something similar?

I don't have a second job but I do work and sleep weird hours, work 12a-8:30a and sleep in the morning until afternoon. If you need to power nap in between jobs try a mild valerian root pill and try to take it on an empty-ish stomach. I found this knocked me the hell out for about 3 hours. Just find the mildest pills, take one at first, and proceed from there.

Not two or more jobs, but sporadically I get to work 2nd shift hours, go on call overnight, then be expected to bring my "A" game as early as 6:30AM the next day. Fortunately happens less frequently lately.
