Night Shift Blues.
The thing i dislike most about working full time nights is that my circadian rythm, which was always a little off kilter since i started at Barwon Health, is now completely stuffed.  My body does not know when to eat or sleep.  And with only two or three nights off inbetween blocks of work I no longer get the chance to normalise it.  I've taken to sleeping in late and and staying up really late (wee hours of the morn) on my days off to minimise the damage and make it easier to stay awake at work.  Dislike this immensely as I normally get up before 8 am on my days off... I feel like I've missed half the day by the time I'm out of bed now.  And I feel suddenly overwhelmingly tired in the middle of the afternoon and I have to down whatever I'm doing and just have a sleep.  In fact I feel tired all the time... which is why production has ground to a halt on the comic.  I'm simply too tired to do anything on my down time besides watch t.v. (normally only something I'd do if I'm desperately bored which I never am.), play some computer games or occassionally read.  That's when I get the time for it.

I'm taking holidays at the end of August and then going back to my normal working hours.  So the end of this is finally in sight.

Awww, getting your sleep-wake cycle mixed up is quite bad *comforts*

I hope you soon get it right again and find some time to really relax...

I also hope your holidays will turn out good and relaxing :)

(Woah, only allowed 2 out of 30 to have holidays at once??? That is quite ... overplanning... I just hope you enjoy your holidays regardless...)

Also a Happy (belated) Birthday to you *hugs*

*Expecting you to be and feel much better before returning to the comic* :)

(and thanks for letting us know how you are ... these last few months without knowing were quite unsettling...)
