its been a year an a half now since ive actually slept normal. After a while you just get use to it

Even though I work 6 am to 2:30 pm, I stay up till 11:30 at night most weeknights, and the alarm goes off at 4:45 a.m. This Saturday night I stayed up till my wife went to work Sunday morning at 7.

I watch movies, tv , and sometimes just get on the reptile forums or Facebook.

I find that I get tired around 8pm and then I get my second wind.

I actually feel most " alive " when it gets dark. I am awake and fully alert. I really just feel better at night.

I get up at 4:00am Mon-Fri. LOL I'm usually on in the mornings before work. My dogs don't believe in sleeping in on the weekends, so I'm usually in bed early.

I work overnight too! 7pm - 7am, I also work during the day... I have two full time jobs. BP.net is all that keeps me awake at night LOL.

I'm a High Risk Health Care Security Officer. A long title which basically boils down to "guard" LOL!

I work at a diesel shop, so I really just sell parts. Nothing too exciting.

Anywho, on my nights off I spend most of the dark hours playing games. Right now Battefield 3 is the flavor of choice.

I am the night shift supervisor at a machine shop. I used to work 3:30 pm - 2:00 am but for now I am working 8:00 pm - 5:00 am. If all my operators are running Ok I get a lot of free time to be here.

I'm a night owl, but I'm trying not to be. Only because my 4 yr old has taken after me, and as I type this, is sitting next to me watching tv. She is usually up with me till 1 or 2 am even! And sometimes even later.....:rolleyes: So I should be a good mom and set a good example to get her little butt to bed like a "normal" child.

I work from 5:00pm-1:30am. I normally don't go to sleep until about 6:00am. Usually, if you see me posting in the daytime, especially during the week, it is because I can't sleep due to insomnia or bad dreams from past combat tours.
I am a retired Marine, and currently work as a civilian aircraft mechanic on AV-8 Harrier attack jets... :salute:
