And in that rush, I forgot to take my effexor and nuvigil. At work I started yawning uncontrollably at about 11am. Fortunately it was just about a 10 minute spell, and I managed to get through the day without anyone noticing.

I'm thinking an 8-hour sleep is ideal; 10pm should be my cutoff, like @Tart Cherry Jam.

How about pouring out some of Nuvigil into an empty medication bottle and keeping it at work if you have a lockable desk drawer or in your backpack if you take a backpack to the office? For such "just in case" situations.
