I went to bed early today surprisingly, but now I’m paying for it. I woke up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep worth a damn now 🙁

Melatonin

When I worked shift work we would work 2 weeks of days 1 week 3-11 one week of 11-7 then back up to days. When we worked 3-11 & 7-11 it was always 7 days straight. That was over 25 years ago and my sleep habits are still screwed up. I feel your pain brother.

I concur, we never had the 11-7 shift just the 7-3 and 3-11 week at a time but on friday we did a lot of shut downs that ran into mondays and it was very common we worked almost right though…..did that for 30 some odd years so ya my sleeping habits are kinda all over the place too…..

yeah, I know the feeling has it’s been some time since I had a full 8+ hours of sleep. I usually just nap an hour or two at a time.

Benadryl works great for me. Take one or two of those and you will be relaxed enough to sleep. If not don’t loose any sleep over it. ^-^

It also really messes me up that it gets dark outside at 5:00pm. I need day light till like 7:00 pm or around that most of the year. Sun rise doesn’t really bother me as much as sun set.

I had a dream that I had insomnia once……
