Sharking

The act of keeping yourself moving or busy in order to stay awake and alert when you're very tired: Just as a shark needs to keep moving to keep breathing, you need to keep moving to stay awake and alert - otherwise you would go quiet and start to droop and slouch as tiredness sets in. Thrashing onwards like a shark will fight off the tiredness.

"I've been sharking all day today. I'm so tired but it had to be done."

"I sharked for the entire day today! I really hope I can get to sleep earlier tonight...."

"Sharking is hard. I'm tired. Someone slap me, please."
