Insomnia? Graveyard Shift?

Or, for that matter, non-continental US time Zone?

What are you doing up at this hour? It’s 1:57PDT, and I simply can not sleep!

I was just reading the dope before curling up with a book… Gotta be at work at 11AM tomorrow, so getting to bed early.

Well, I work third shift at a hospital (we prefer not to call it “graveyard” around here :wink: ) So that’s why almost all my posts occur between the hours of 10pm and 5am (central) on Saturday through Thursday.

Oh and it’s 5:07 here! I’m on eastern time. I never seem to get to post alongside any other eastern time zone Dopers! Not that there’s anything wrong with pacific time zone Dopers like you, Chrome Toaster!

I moonlight.

Night shift hours 3 days a week.

Day hours 3 days a week.

Sleep 1 day a week.


Take care.

I’m in a continental non-US time zone.

I have been a life-long night owl. And, I now have a job that caters to that. “Evening Shift” - 3-11 PM. It usually takes several hours for me to wind down after work, that’s when I do most of my SD posting. I get up about noonish every day, do a little email and Internet before going to work. Ah…I just loooove these hours!

Mad Poet, this is early?!

EvilBeth, we Pacific Timers know how you East Coasters feel about us! The truth came out in that “I’m in a Zone…” thread not long ago!! :wink: (Sorry about the “Graveyard” reference. oops.)

And Smug, Just wondering, and none of my biz, I know, but does that schedule totally mess with your circadian rhythms?

I would be so thrown out of whack on a cycle like that! (In fact, I think this one sleepless night is going to affect me for a couple of days!)

Actually, I am adjusting quite well.

Just now and again I will get real tired very suddenlly an my brain don’t werk as gooZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

smug–I sympathize with you. I work full time on third shift and go to school full time (four days a week) I’ve been doing it for four semesters now so I fully expect to have a psychotic episode any day now! But on the bright side, my husband is picking me up in about 20 minutes and taking me to breakfast!

Working here, Chromey.

Wait, actually, I am now off. WooooHoooo !

Later . . .

Dammit. Saw the thread title and thought we’d be talking about Stephen King books.

Oh well, as you were…

Well, I am at work til 1:00am MDT so that is what I am doing up at this hour, so yeah, the graveyard shift thing is almost right.
BTW what the @#!% is up with the #@! MPSIMS forum tonight? Nothin’s gettin’ !@ bumped, and nothin’ is #%^%@ updatin’. #%@%!

Wow, good point, Max. I’ve read both, and the titles in the thread title didn’t even occur to me!
