So I’m working this 6am – 2pm shift this week at the car factory. After four hours sleep last night I do the shift and find myself pretty dead by the end, so I come home, watch a DVD and crash out at five setting my alarm for midnight. Around eight I wake up and doze until ten. Figuring that I’m not actually getting any sleep and I do have stuff to do (check out BugPowder for major postage from myself today) I get up and crack on. It’s now getting close to 2am and I’m starting to feel a little tired but I can’t sleep because I have to leave for work at five. Halfway through the working day I’m probably going lose it which wouldn’t normally be a problem except this current job involved screwing cover plates onto engine motors and is somewhat precision dependent.
This has happened before. While I don’t really have a sleep pattern I do tend to wake up in the evening no matter how tired I am. Conversely I tend to get sleepy in the morning no matter how much sleep I’ve had.
