I will be working 12 hour shifts with a 45 minute drive either side of it. Hopefully mother nature will put me asleep and keep me asleep. Im more concerned about disturbed sleep.

Years ago my mate was doing early and late shifts in the same week. After about 60 hours that week his mum looked in on him on saturday night. He was sleep-talking to her about "dragons coming on tuesday" Serious disturbed sleep!

Im almost four weeks into the job now and Im doing fine, it has not been as hard as I thought it would be.
I went to boots and bought ear plugs and bought a nice soft eye mask on ebay to help block out the light, now Im sleeping during the day with no problems.
Switching from day to night and back again is not as bad as I thought it would be either. I had two nights last week where I was drained but that is expected.
I cant believe the difference ear plugs and an eye mask make..
