The worst part about having every Monday off is public holidays don't feel any different....

So glad my run of night shifts are over. Was running off 10 hours sleep in 3 days and epic gut pains for 3 days. I am amazed I haven't crashed my car driving home, so many times I find myself veering into the other lane falling asleep. Yesterday morning as I was approaching a right hand turn, about 30 seconds before turning I actually had a micro dream that I was already at the intersection before snapping back to being awake. I am a dead set accident waiting to happen every time I finish night shifts. But what can I do?

 

[Misanthrope]

Jesus. That sounds insane.

Jesus. That sounds insane.

Doesn't help that it's just cruisy motorway and highway driving with no cars on the road. There isn't much for my mind to think about so it goes to sleep. Ill wind my window down, slap myself in the face, etc etc to stay awake. It's just so hard, why can't my body just recognize the danger and remain alert til I get home.

The most annoying thing is, I'll go to sleep at around 7am the wake up at around 11am and no matter how tired I am can't go back to sleep after that point.

Shift week seems really bad health wise. I worked at a servo for two years, they weren't the 10-12 hour shifts but it was still 11pm-6/7am and it leaves you wrecked for a while trying to adjust.

And many I know who do shift work drink a fair bit, because coming off shift you need a way to get to sleep. Pretty terrible cycle.

Yeah, but normally you will only get 3-4 10pm-6am shifts a month but I could also expect a few 6p-2a or 8p-4a shifts as wel depending on what is happening in the division or if there are operations going on. But at least finishing at 2a or 4a it's still dark when you get home.

Broncos supporting mate is facing a similar dilemma. A friend gave us her family's tickets if we can just get to the game, but flights are prohibitively expensive.

Fly out Friday, fly back Tuesday. Problem solved.

Body clock is such a load of shit. I change mine on a twice weekly basis. Mind over matter.

I dont think yours has ever been established. Maybe why you are so flexible.

:lol: Quite possibly. It's been all over the place since high school. It's natural state tends towards late nights and afternoon wake ups, but it varies when work/uni/travel requires it.
