The time change fucked my head up. I didn’t sleep well. I just wish the US would stick to this time year round. I know the arguments against it and they’re all resolved by either adjusting timezones state by state where it might be needed or adjusting school and business hours to accommodate seasonal changes in daylight hours. You know, like animals do. Because that’s what we are: animals. Our timekeeping system is a tool and we can and should adjust it or our habits and schedules to optimize its usefulness. Otherwise, the world clock is an arbitrary, floating standard that we use out of tradition rather than practicality, especially considering how incredibly fucking different the world has become in a relatively short time. Seriously, planes, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, cellophane, and stainless steel all were around before daylight savings was used.
I’ve been at work for about eleven hours and I’m ready to go home. I have tomorrow off and then I have to work night shift Tuesday night through Friday morning. So I might take a nap at like 6pm tonight for an hour or so, stay up until like 2am, sleep in until I naturally wake (hopefully 9ish but probably closer to 7ish), and then go to bed Tuesday morning at like 4am. That should get my rest in while flipping my sleep schedule.
It’s not healthy, but I do what I can to mitigate the issues. My job schedule is rotating shift work, and it both pays well and nets me 7 days off in a row every 4 weeks. Day shift is just hard for me. As I’ve gotten older and wiser, I’ve learned more about my energy levels and now know to just tell myself to go the fuck to bed lol. Sometimes I’m in bed by like 8pm because I just know that I need it like that.
Short answer, tired af. Longer answer…
