81/365 - Zzzzz...Oops, time to play!

Tips for staying awake during orchestra rehearsal:

1. Get more than 15 hours of sleep in the three days preceding rehearsal.

2. Don't work through lunch and dinner before driving an hour prior to rehearsal.

3. Strategize coffee consumption to allow for maximum energy and appropriate timing of impending caffeine crash.

4. Keep in mind that rests, even when 20+ measures long, are not built-in for the intention of giving musicians an opportunity to rest their eyes.
