Question sleep- are you getting enough?

As a short haul pilot, I change my sleep patterns several times a week.. .Catnaps and Valerian tea help a bit (I prefer to leave drugs on the shelf), but I still find I'm frequently tired.. .What do you do to drop off when you're wide awake, stay alert when you're dying to doze off or work through cumulative tiredness etc? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

If you can find them: Dark chocolate-covered espresso beans.. better than caffeine pills! (and much, much tastier!) Try your local gourmet coffee shop <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
