    Default How to stay awake when camming at night?

    Hello.

    I am used in camming at day time only but i decided to work at night instead but then i keep getting sleepy. I start at 6pm but by 8pm i am already feeling so sleepy. No matter how much coffee i drink.

    So for the cammodels who have been working at night. How do you manage to stay awake and be still lively and appear happy.?

    Well, you can adjust your sleep schedule so that evening seems like morning to you. The other option (and what I do, since I have a 9-5 vanilla job) is coffee, energy drinks, keeping the room slightly cold, lots of cold water, snacks within reach, pump-up music, and if i get drowsy I get up and move about.

    I have the same issue, thank you for dropping this post here. I am immune to coffee, might as well be decaf and I have tried high potency, within 2 days I am immune again. I have been trying to sleep in when the sun comes up so I will not be so tired, but that never works. Here are some things that have worked in the past when I was able to stay awake all night that I am going to try and get hard core about:

    Exercise around 3 pm. I get tired after working out, so then nap time and I wake up refreshed like it is a new day.
    Not eat things that make me tired - like big filling meals
    If I am not camming MAKE myself stay up until the desired time I wish to normally get up by engaging myself into something interesting - hobby, etc. Sitting and laying put me to sleep quick. hmm.. prob will incorporate that into my show then. No laying on my bed during camming, get up get up, literally.
    Strict about going to sleep and waking up at exact times- turn phone ff, computer off, ear plugs, and face mask, chamomile tea. Re-set my dogs feeding schedule for breakfast so she doesn't wake me up.

    polyphasic sleep is helpful too, but not sustainable.

    PLEASE give me more ideas. I am trying to lose 30lb so sugary rockstars will not do and fake sugar makes me dehydrated and sick.

    I think some girls are just natural night owls. I can't cam pass 12am. I get so tired and pissy. Coffee doesn't work. I get more tired and sleepy with it. If you can cam during the day then just do it. Night camming doesn't mean money. The best time to cam is when you can work.

    I'm sooo glad that You started this thread, because I struggle with night camming as well.
    Even after camming everyday for 4 years, most of my really good paying custies are on at night! It pisses me off, because they come into chat during the day, but only play at night.
    I used to cam early a.m., and it was fairly easy for me to get the 'morning woodies', but since it's been a never ending summer where I live this year, I've been too hot and tired to cam during the day, so I stay up later at night, to catch some of the night cooling air.
    I thought this would help with camming, since I feel better at night nowadays, but I'm still not very motivated to be interactive at night. (If That makes sense). Probably because it's too bright and noisy during the day for me to sleep past 8, or 9 a.m., so I'm always having long days regardless, and am drained from being up so long.
    Coffee doesn't really help, other than in the mornings.
    I do agree with keeping your cam room cold, and be up and moving.
    My suggestion is that if You can make decent money during the day, why not stick with that?
    Although I must admit, that once I log on at night, (reluctantly), I'm good to go if I can just stay on for a half hour or so, until my room starts jumping.

    I always work nights and have the opposite problem, I can never get on during the day...I think once you get used to a certain time for caming it's really difficult to get out of that routine and I also think people tend to gravitate to whatever schedule is natural to their body clock. I've always been a bit of a night owl but I tend to work 8-2 and go to bed around 3 or 4 am. The tings that are important to keeping my schedule are that I blacked out all the windows in my bedroom so I have no light streaming in hours after I've gone to bed. If I wake up at a reasonable hour, say 9, I force myself to sleep until at least 10:30. I eat dinner around 5 and don't eat again until the next morning, being hungry can help keep me awake. I do have a sugar free monster when I first get on, but thats more out of habit than anything. I take a break at 11:30 and stretch out, sometimes I notice I get tired just because my back is sore from sitting in front of the camera. Also, I maintain the same schedule all the time, so on my days off the earliest I go to bed is 2am.

    I have to say though, the biggest thing to keep me up and awake is Google chatting with sexyred when we are on together, she doesn't stop until the job is finished - so having a buddy helps keep you going. PM if you want a cam buddy.

    coffee is almost like water to me now... I dont feel the energy from it.. just keeps me alive... BUT what I have found that helps sooo much is called "ginseng energy now" they are energy pills that wont give u that weird jittery feeling... I love them but have a problem finding them everywhere... I can only find them at two gas stations around my house so I'l always going there and buying atleast 3 packs at a time.. each pack has 3 pills in them it says to take 3 but I only take two... u are suppose to take them with a glass of water and you wont skip that step because they make u hella thirsty.. You can prolly buy them online too but just so u know I have only found them at some locations of 7eleven and sunoco so check those out u will love them... I know also that there are atleast two other types that energy now makes that I havent tried because I'm a creature of habit but I'm sure they work too.. just look for the brand "energy now"

    This is true! If you take 100mg of it with 50mg of it, it'll keep you energized and focused with out the nasty side effects of caffeine. It's one of my favorite supplements : )

    Thank you everyone for your replies. It makes me happy that i am not the only one who have a problem staying awake at night lol.

    Actually only in front of cam i feel sleepy. Sometimes after i log out at 11 or 12 i still couldn't sleep and usually still sleep at 3am(my usual sleep time)

    I have other responsibilities or things to do at day time now so i have to work at night.

    I need to cam tonight, since I couldn't work yesterday. I'm already dreading it. >_< I just feel like being plopped there at night, no patience or will to flirt for free, and it's coldddddd. I need to figure out a way to switch this around.

    I have the opposite problem. I can stay awake all night but have a hard time staying awake during the day.

    I can only work at night though, but I need get a better sleeping schedule.

    Staying up isn't a problem for me, it's actually the opposite! Waking up early to cam, which would potentially be my best time, is super hard. But I guess you gots to have that "go get it attitude!". You can't earn if you're not on. Another suggestion is to book shows with your clients in advance. A lot of them will be nice and make the change if they like you well enough.

    I regularly work until 3am/4am and sometimes 5am/6am.

    First of all, and this is to everyone, you don't need to work all the hours in the god damn day. Most people don't work the day AND night shift in their regular jobs so I don't know where this pressure comes from to do that as well. Money is not more important than physical and mental health if you're already earning a decent wage.

    Anyway... I usually try to work a 12 hour shift, so 5pm - 5am works for me. I do this about 3 times a week, and the rest of the time I cam during the day. My tips:

    - change your sleeping pattern. When I work until 5am, I make sure that I wake up around 11am or noon so I get at least 6 hours of undisturbed slumber. I can't keep a normal sleeping pattern and cam until the early hours. It doesn't work. I also nap in the day. I have a healthy diet of slow releasing energy and I stay away from sugar so I don't peak and crash. NO CHOCOLATE AND NO SUGARY SODA.

    - I make myself a coffee around midnight if I want to put in a few hours longer. I try not to drink more than 3 cups in a 24 hour period.

    - I keep my room warm, comfortable and cosy. If it's cold then I want to log off and snuggle up in bed. I wear comfortable socks and keep wet wipes handy as freshening up keeps me alert.

    - I drink lots and lots of water.

    - I keep a TV show or radio show running when it gets quiet to keep me awake.

    Be aware that a nocturnal sleeping pattern leaves you more susptible to putting on weight and biologically you will crazy food heavy in sugar and carbohydrate so its really important that you're aware of this and keep a good diet. Not only will it keep you in good shape, but a healthy diet will make you feel a thousand times better.

    I've done shift work for over a decade. I've found a scheduled nap works wonders. Two Benedryll and a glass of wine usually help. When it's actually night time,music, energy drinks, and texting helps.
