It's funny how when you should go to sleep you're as awake as if you'd finished a pot of coffee to yourself, but when you should stay awake your eyes are perpetually half-closed as you function in a state of semi-lucid dreams.
When I'm switching from day shifts to night shifts (we work twelves, running seven to seven), I try to stay up late so I can sleep in before I go to work that night. I am not one of those lucky people who can just sleep straight on through for 16 hours so my goal is usually to stay up past midnight in order to allow myself to sleep in past noon. In theory I could go to bed early and get up early and try to nap in the afternoon, but then I run the risk of not being sleepy when I should be napping, and it's a looonngg night until I can return home to bed.
It's not even 11pm and I can barely keep my eyes open. This is after an 8-hour sleep last night and 2-hour nap this afternoon. What the heck, body? Why are you doing this to me?!
