Tonight will be my third night of seven in this week's hospital schedule. My shift is from 11PM to 7AM and has been absolutely draining me.
Last night/this morning I was useless at work. I walked and talked and felt like a zombie. I didn't get a lot of sleep the day before, so I was especially tired when I got home this morning.
But, guess what? I couldn't sleep well again. I woke up around noon for a while, and then again several times throughout the afternoon. I think if I didn't have to wake up to turn in my log by 5PM I could have been able to sleep for a while longer. But, alas, it was not so. After being awake for that little while, all abilities to return to that blissful sleep state have vanished. For the last hour plus I have been laying in my bed trying desperately to fall asleep again. But, guess what? I can't.
What is the matter with me? I really enjoy the nursery normally, but without sleep it can be extremely exhausting.
Please pray for me. My circadian rhythm is way off, and I've been experiencing all the symptoms of jet lag without the pleasures of actually being on vacation.
