hah, sleep.
I work an overnight shift 3 says a week. When I'm not working, I'm daddy to a toddler and a newborn. During the day. So a normal week goes something like this:
Monday - Wake up with the babies, usually around 7am. Get relieved when the teens come home from school. Sleep 3-6PM, then off to work.
Tuesday - Home from work at 8:15AM. In bed usually around 10AM. Sleep until 5PM. This is by far my biggest chunk of sleep. shower and work...
Wed - Home from work at 8:15AM. Go to bed around 9AM and sleep until 1PM. Go back to bed at 2AM, wake up with the babies (6-7AM)
Thurs-Fri: Bed 2AM, wake 6-7AM
Sat: bed 2am, wake 6AM, back to bed 2PM, wake 6PM for work.
Sun: Bed 9AM, wake 1PM.
Despite all of this insanity I still manage to fall asleep rather quickly and sleep well. Once in a while i'll take some Benydril but that's rare.
