Im just awake lol. I blame the kids but really ive been cleanin.

Haha crazy lady!! I can't imagine ever having the energy to be cleaning at this time lol it's not uncommon for me to be awake at this time but for some reason it's so hard wen I'm supposed to be lol

If someone told me i had to stay awake id sevelop narcolepsy

That's kinda what I'm suffering from I am in need of moral support but my Friends are sleeping

I saw some study on BBC News that says shift work makes you dumber. If that is true, imagine what that does to doctors and nurses at hospitals.

That's probably true I feel like a zombie right now... It's probably why a lot of hospitals are messing up. They're always short staffed and that Usually means the existing staff work crazy hours and crazy long weeks.. Is it any wonder people get forgotten in corridors and toilets? Lol

Haha sour, pro plus makes me sick... Well, it does when i take a whole packet and mix it with red bull! I found that out whilst at uni I stick to strong coffee but don't drink it after 4am so when I get to bed at 8 I'm usually okay

I can go to sleep drinking coffee, but I cannot drink tea past six in the evening or I will be up all night.

Haha mok that's strange? Are you sure someone hasn't been popping something into your tea

I use to do night shifts. A few things you can do to pass the time, if permitted are: watch movies, listen to music, do homework, text or talk to other people that are awake-wake them up even, polish your nails, make something, do your paperwork, research random stuff or use pro like you are now, read a book

Anyway, I'm here now because I'm half popping in and half writing progress notes .

Yeah sour they gave me the yip too lol I'm pretty sure they still sell them, probably shouldn't tho lol

Lol peta that's all very useful but I am so unorganised I never remember to bring anything with me. Don't have great reception here either so can't even pester people on Facebook! I only have one friend who works nights but he's huffing with me this week lol

Just woke up on sofa, quick dump and bed for 4 more hours.

Thanks Dodge, we needed to know that.

I think I will sleep well tonight.

man up keisha.

shut up Martian! I can't do it... I had a heavy, long weekend... I'm still not ok lol

I can believe that. I've been working shifts since the 90s and never get used to it.
I switch around in a day on the face of it but not properly.

I rarely know what day it is, sometimes I don't even know if it's day or night. I'll be out in the street and there's no traffic and I find myself wondering why.

But if I work lots of overtime so I work the same shift like seven days in a row, something magical begins to happen - I start to wake up, my head starts to clear, can think properly and generally get it together.

But whilst I keep switching about, it's always intrusive mentally. And yet I like it for it's benefits, so i'm not tempted to switch to office hours.

Isn't that because when you have flexible and/sporadic hours you may have more time to think and figure things out, so most things feel so jumbled with the free time as well as the lack of routine? Therefore when you have that set routine you jut know what happens at what time, it's been instilled into you sort of that there's less hassle and figuring out but more so a familiar program that you follow?

Lol hotpink you should have slept in the day before your shift so you wont get as lethargic.

I can't tho juice... I'm not used to sleeping through the day and unfortunately when I try, my mind doesn't listen lol
