[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 243117"] My body eventually got used to 4-6 hrs of sleep at night before the shift then a 1-2 hr nap following it during the day. I average about 7 hrs of sleep now, 6 before the shift, 1 hr nap (or longer if I am really worn out or if I didn't get that much sleep during the night lol) before classes depending on the day. It took me a good 3 months when i was first hired to get used to it (which doesn't include peak...god that was hell my first year). You may want to look at sleep aids, just make sure you go to sleep early enough for them to wear off. If this has been going on for two years it might be time to put those bennies you bust your butt every mon-fri for to work for you. I don't eat anything big before the shift, a granola bar usually and a bottle of water. I'll usually be up for an hour or so when I get home and then pass out. This works for me but your mileage may vary. Speaking of, time for bed for this fellow preload shifter. I'm up way past my bedtime watching the pats and sox games :thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
