There are some jobs that if you’re caught sleeping it’s no big deal.
If you’re a data entry clerk and stare at a computer all day and you take a moment to rest your eyes, it’s definitely not good, but we’ve heard worse. But when you’re a air traffic supervisor who dozes off in the Reagan National Airport control tower forcing passenger plane pilots to land on their own, you’ve got a problem. Haven’t they ever heard that sleep is the cousin of death?
If you’re an air traffic control it should be mandatory to have Red Bull, 5 Hour Energy, coffee and any other (legal) stimulant at arm’s reach. Being an air traffic controller isn’t the only job where it’s mandatory to stay awake, from security guards to surgeons, these are the professions where you need to stay alert!

Bouncers…
At a strip club there is money, sex, liquor and naked women. Combine all these elements with drunk dudes and a bouncer needs to get involved and he needs to be awake. No sleep for bouncers working a strip club.

Dentist…
Like a brain surgeon, a dentist absolutely can’t fall asleep during a procedure. And if he does you might want to find another dentist.

The Leader Of Libya And His Bodyguards
It’s safe to say the Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, isn’t getting much sleep these days and he shouldn’t. His all female bodyguards aren’t getting much sleep either.
