I never knew

I never suspected that changing my sleep shedule would be so problematic, after all, I've been having weird sleeping habits all my life. This week I had to go from being used to the night shift (work 22h00 till 06h00) to a system that'll accommodate working 06h00-14h00 starting saturday. This has resulted in skipping sleep altogether from sunday on monday, then crash monday night and sleep till 17h00 on tuesday, to skip sleep again in the night of tuesday to wednesday.

Last night I managed to go to bed around midnight, and I woke up at a few minutes past five this morning. Way too early for a day off if you ask me, but I think I'm adapted to morning shifts now.

All this fucked up sleeping can't be good for you, don't you think? Wouldn't it be better to have a team work mornings for 4 months, then late shifts for 4 months and finally nights for 4 months? That would result in fucking up sleep habits only 3 times a year, instead of every 3 or 4 weeks.

You could argue that would be even harder on a social life level, but I see no difference - at least that way people would have a chance of knowing when you're around, when you're at work and when you'll be trying to sleep.
