    for on-the-job sleepiness when you finish the questions?

    "A nap combined with 2 Pro Plus tablets will temporarily alleviate tiredness."

    I don't trust a "scientific method" that ends with a sales pitch. :-|

    but there was no way to put in my real sleep schedule.

    I work 3rd shift (1 am - 9 am), so most days, I end up sleeping from 2 pm - 10 pm.

    The poll also found that men and women experience tiredness differently. Some 64% of women said they become irritable when tired. Men said they make more mistakes.

    Next thing you know, they notice alcohol affects men and women differently: men can't change tires, while women can't find their eyeliner in their purse.
