So, after recovering from yesterday’s night monitoring shift, I can honestly say that it feels like I’ve lost a day somewhere in the process. When I got home from the shift, it took me a long while before I actually slept; my body was so full of stimulants that I needed to get those out of my system before any rest was really possible. Even then, when I finally closed my eyes, I only got a few hours in before I was awake and itching to be active. This continued activity is the reason why I feel like I fell into a time-warp. Tomorrow is Thursday? Impossible!
Anyway, I’m here at work again, with a 4-midnight shift. I’m in hour 3 of eight! Maybe this time I can accomplish some useful work on the side. I mean, it’s not like it’s 2 in the morning; my mind is still lucid this early in the evening.

It’s always tough to do that.
I used to be oncall and had to be woke up in the night and had to log in and fix jobs. I totally get where you are coming from!
It’ll probably take you until the weekend before you feel human again. ::big hug::
