So I wake up...not too sure what time it is...or ...actually I do...as I slyly glimpse at the clock in the corner of my screen. hehe. But as I do that I think about the reasons i'm awake...and bam it hits me...working night shift. Now for those of you who know me...know that I had been working night shift for like...6 months or something...not too sure how long...but i realize that in the midst of all that my sleeping patterns are all jacked up!!! So here I am..and instead of doing Ph.D professional number counting..i'm instead writing a thoughtless blog about the great effects of being a night case worker.
I think research shows that even losing one day of sleep causes the body to slow down and potentially create a higher risks of like...uh...a million different things to which i cannot begin to pronounce...or spell in this state...but damn..ha!
Let me just say this..yes, having 4 days (sometimes 5) off at a time is simply amazing..I had time to plan my classes...do homework, finish my research, pick up a second job, create new hobbies and discover a million new ways to pass the time at 3:00 am ...hahahah!!! but...on the other hand...here I am...4 am unable to sleep...hmm...I now think...was it worth it!??! ha! ask me later when I think i'm not sleeping
The question then becomes is free time really worth low pay and restless nights forever after...or at least for a while after? hmmm..you decide.
