I work night shift . . . three 12 hour shifts per week. I am perpetually tired. I am awake approximately 26 - 28 hours straight twice a week. I am currently operating on about 5 hours of sleep mid-way through my two-night assignment. I am a nurse and I drive an hour each way to work at the hospital. I love sleep on my days off. I disappear into it. I anticipate retirement when I can sleep like "normal". My brain will be able to recharge the way it's supposed to.
