I'm all about the coffee when I've not had enough sleep. Coffee and walks. I'm lucky that I work across three campuses, two within walking distance of each other. So I go do my rounds at the other site. If I'm really tired, I do lots and lots of rounds. Being active helps me. But if I have to be stuck at my desk, it's all about the coffee!
I second the second, third breakfast etc. Luckily DS seemed to stop waking overnight around Christmas time, so I am doing better now but before that definitely food, and a coffee first thing - as long as work was busy I managed ok - is a deskjob and I would have been useless if had meetings but otherwise was ok at work. I was more concerned about the drive home, I am more of a morning person so the drive in ok, but coming home especially if traffic bad (an hour plus) I used to worry about tiredness but was always ok.
TT - DD went through phases of being like that - where you talk about it and they are happy but not when it comes to it, have you asked how long she screams for - DD never screamed for long and I just got used to it - I also think that sometimes it is a memory thing - e.g. they scream or cling on once because they were unhappy and then they just do it the next time because they think "mmmm what do I do in this situation - oh yes I remember I cling on and cry" and it can take a while to break out of that cycle.
