It's staying asleep that is a huge problem for me. I sleep in the same room ( out of necessity) as my person ( special needs son)who I care for. I will wake up at any noise he makes and then getting back to sleep is a chore. I find the best solution for that is to get up, make a trip to the bathroom., drink some water and then crawl back into bed. Naps are my salvation through a day after a restless night and, yes, good nutrition certainly helps]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I usually have no problem falling into bed at night and falling asleep.

I typically set my alarm for 3 am. I find that if I am well rested before this event, it is more tolerable with nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day and of course plenty of water. I have no advice for people who are unable to rest for two or more days straight. I barely functioned like that for the first couple of jobs I had as a young lawyer and quickly realized it wasn’t for me because I was miserable and unpleasant. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture, so we must realize as care givers that we are not invincible. We need our rest to be in the best health to care for another. Eating, drinking, naps, breaks and good hygiene are essential. Hope this helps another care giver get through his/her important commitment.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Signing up to assist the NYC Board of Elections requires a commitment of work from 5 am to 10:30 pm on Election Day.
