What happened?? Like three or four weeks ago on a weekend I was staying up to finish Svengoolie. Tonight I wanna go sleep. Last night was no different I went to bed at 8:30. Am I getting old??? Or maybe I just don’t wanna miss those glorious mornings.

I wish the world functioned in this way. Unfortunately, very few businesses or jobs function on a 24 hour a day clock. You pretty much have to match the normal work day to "interact" with the rest of the people. It would be nice to sleep when our bodies tell us to sleep and get (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) done otherwise. Plenty of days after busting butt all day I am ready to hit the hay early. Then there are days that I wake up at 4 am and would like to get stuff done but the rest of the locals are still asleep.

I agree my pattern is all jacked up lately. And sometimes when the sleepiness hits, it’s unbearable. I could curl up anywhere and go sleepy. I’m grateful that tomorrow is Sunday.

I am about to hit the rack myself. Long week at work and had an all day hunt today. I’m not even setting an alarm for in the morning. Whenever I wake up is when I’ll get up, lol. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow too, so that’s just sleeping weather anyways.

Nothin helps one sleep like a steady rain or low thunderstorm! Get some rest. And enjoy it

Skin a pile of Coon.
That'll whip you into a good night sleep.

I am just the opposite and wish I could get a good nights sleep. Most mornings I am up by 0300 even though I have no need or desire to be.

Dave if I skin a pile of coon I’m not welcome in my bed. And 160 I sympathize. I could sleep on top a train to Tokyo if I needed to.

Try sleeping with a fan blowing on you. Really!

I love being cold going to sleep!!!! My husband is like an oven!!!!! Even in summer he has blankets over his head.


I can’t breathe!!! Maybe I’m going through the change !!!!! Early!!!!!

I like to sleep cool too, preferably around 50 degrees. As far as the rest of that................NO COMMENT!

Every time I go to bed early I wake up at like 2:30 am and then can't go back to sleep.

Even when I go to bed at 10 I still wake up at 3. I guess I am paying for the sins of my youth. I can only stay seated an hour max so traveling is an issue too.

With my rotating 12hr days this week nights next week that are turned into 16hr shifts 92% of the time my sleep scedual well what is that. Even when I have the chance to sleep longer it's seldom more than 4 to 5 hrs. Except once a year or so when the 34 hrs with out sleep two or 3 tome a month catch up with me and I crash for 23 to 16
hrs.

Having most of October and Nov off on Vaction showed me hoe much better I can feel living like a human after years of this crazy stuff. Sp i know I need to make some changes. Infsct my stomach had not been right since I got back to work. It just plain not healthy

I should be asleep now. Got off my last 16 of the week this morning at 11am drove 127 miles home took a short nap. Got up . Everyone been in bed a few hours and I can't get to sleep. It's always like this.

Friend of mine ...was self employed and Driving a logging truck. Putting in hours like yourself..... finally caught up with him at age 47... had a heart attack....and lived. He is no longer in the fast lane....had to pull ovah and take it easy. A little FYI ....time is more important than money.

If I didn't set an alarm, I think I would probably sleep 14 hours a day. I am constantly tired. I can sleep 9 hours and be ready for a nap 2 hours later. I went to the doctor even eventually but he said nothing was wrong with me. When I go out to my truck for my 15 minute break at work I have to set an alarm because I will fall asleep even if playing a game or reading.

It may have something to do with the fact that I never get more than 5 hours of sleep a night during the work week though.

“There will be plenty of time to spell when we are dead.”

Years driving OTR I can almost go to sleep on demand. lol I get feeling tired durning the day, I can lay my head on the wheel while waiting my turn to load in the stone yard, nap and wake up feeling new in the span of 5-7 minutes.

I used to work nights when I was younger. I knew it was bad but didn't realize just how bad until I went to working days.

I would never work nights again unless I had no choice

Go to bed most nights at 10 and up at 5. Some weekends I will get an extra hour.

This has been a realization I have been having the last few years with my health scare im a touch slow with the I m no longer 20 and bullet proof realization. ( possible ms, low back issues for sure) hopefully in the next year I will back off a bunch. Even debated changing to day shift In January but will only get 8 days off 2 at a time if I do that. Now with my scedual I can take 14 days off a month and 7 of those are in a roll. (If I don't work them) ut I always have that option if I want where I will not have the option if I move to strait days. Biggest issue is I travel for work and dont see my family or get home when I'm working. Yes I work many of my days off now and the 2 after getting off night shift are useless but I do normally take at least t of my 7 off in a roll each month.

Sadly my plan it to work even more than I have been the next 6 months. But that should get my rent house paid off savings to where I will be ok if I don’t work for over a year. And hopefully roofing so I can put a new roof on the house this summer. That will basically put me at debt free and we'll beyond. At least untill that zero % on those Kubota tractors bug bites the next time my old 1965 international breaks down when I need to get things done.
It's a good plan tell I fall over dead, have a wreck, or just get myself unto trouble being short tempered being tire and not feeling well. And of course somethings WILL come up and really slow the progress of the plan they always do. But at least I finally admit I need to slow down and make changes. Problem is that was worse becuse it mad me want to work even more to get things where I want them before my health might stop me from working as much. What can I say guess I'm not very smart.

My dad was a trucker for 40 odd years. It always amazed me how he could go to sleep any time night or day.
