When I started my full time job (M-F 8am-5pm), I too thought that it was the end of all things I had ever known. I was tired, I couldn't stay awake past 10, I was skipping weekend activities because I couldn't stay awake long enough to enjoy them! I had gotten use to sleeping in till whenever and I was sure that the waking up early every day was going to be the end of all good things.

Fast forward 6 months later. I have gotten use to it. It is a major shock to your body when you change or do not keep the same sleep schedule. I know she is dealing with more but the feeling that your body will never be normal again due to a sleep schedule change will pass.

In short. YES it SUCKS!!! But, you get use to it. Especially when you have bills to pay and groceries to buy. I am sure others can vouch for that.
