    Default sleep or money?

    ok so my day job pays around 22$ an hour(im in the uk) and i'm down for 10 hours tommorrow starting at 6.30am if i go to work dancing then the only option is to come home and wait 2 hours before going to work in my normal day job, i can't risk sleeping the 2 hours because if i slept through my day job i will get fined and could get sued! would definatley get a disciplinary! the roads have been pretty icy and am not sure whether it will be worth it, normaly i make around 600$ dancing a night but my friend worked last night and said it wasn't so good, but the thought i could make money even if it was only 370$ keeps niggling at me but them the thought of no sleep is another thought also niggling me!
    so what would you choose,
    sleep or money?

    Sleep! Don't take your chances if the law is involved.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    That depends on how bad you need the money. I had a situation a few months ago like that. I had a goal that I desperatly needed to make, I figure 600 bucks is worth missing a little sleep. As long as you don't drink much at the club.

    Another vote for sleep. I don't know about you, but when I'm dead tired, there's NOTHING i can do to make money because I'm so out of it and in a bad mood.

    another vote for sleep! I know the money is tempting but you won't make much if you are tired and grumpy. plus if you wear yourself out and end up getting sick you will lose way more $$ being stuck in bed for days, that's what I've figured out the hard way!

    Another vote for sleep...I am in the same position as you. I make decent money at a day job one with insurance and a future. Dancing is only temporary. No point in risking the your day job...money is not that important. Your safety and stability certainly is.
