Help
Didn't think things through( actually got my dates confused )
Will not get home until about 3.30am and we are one hour ahead!
Work for 8am, half hour drive.
Tips tips please to help me survive work tomorrow!
Thanks

What do you work as? That's going to make a difference to the answers!

Shower as soon as you wake up, blast of cold water at the end to wake you up.

Lots of coffee/red bull.

Caffeine

Book a taxi to work now. You won't be in a good state to drive.
Otherwise you can wing it (brain surgeons excepted).

Can you book tomorrow as annual leave, or a half day? Just admit you cocked up.

One night of 3hours sleep is totally do-able OP. You can do it!

Caffeine + don’t have a big carb-y lunch.

Proplus caffeine tablets. What do you work as?

I work in a school and it's inset so lots of meetings.
At least it's not a job where anyone is at risk if a member of staff is tired.
Just hope I don't nod of at the back, I'm sure I'll be fine( have had two young children before).
I think it's just the thought!

Lots of coffee.

Oh and make sure you sleep on the plane

I have a desk job and routinely arrived back in the country from a long haul holiday at 6am, showered and headed straight to work. Its only one day, but it saves a wasted day of annual leave, which is more important to me.

Now if you are a surgeon on the other hand, then you might have a problem.

Well, in lieu of further details, if it’s a long haul, get as much sleep as possible on the flight, get home, sleep for a couple of hours get up and forget it’s not just a normal day where you’re a bit more tired than normal. Work. Go home. Sleep at normal time. Best way to deal with ‘jet lag’ and sleep deprivation due to traveling, is to pretend it isn’t happening in my, long and varied and boring work traveling experience, tbh. However, this does depend very much in the job you have to do.........

Oh, cross post, inset day? You’ll do it!

You will be fine I regularly get home from work at 2.30am and get up at 6.30am in the morning sort the kids out and then go to college and sit in lectures. Inset days are not like hectic teaching days. Just get an early night that night.

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll need to just put my big girl pants on!
Especially as we now have a 67 min delay

Big girl pants. And probably a lot of snacks.

I made it through the day!!
Didn't really sleep on the flight, slept in car on way home (one and half hour drive)and got into bed at 5.15am then alarm at 6.50am.
I did feel shocking when I woke up but better after cup of tea and shower.
Early night tonight!
Thanks everyone for your advice
