That’s it, that’s the post
If this is a regular thing, you need to find a new job for your sake. Last time I had a job like that I started hallucinating
No worries, this isn’t a regular thing, it’s a direct result of my own conscious decision. I’ll be turning in early tonight to catch up on sleep. :)
You can’t put extra sleep in the piggy bank to cash out later. You know that, right?
No, but I can sleep off my sleep debt
This or, putting your foot down on it.
I let my previous employer bully me with scheduling like this for a solid 2 years before I put my foot down and said I can no longer be scheduled earlier than 9. I got so sick of getting out at midnight, getting home by like 1, and then having to be in at 6 day. Especially since I’m not one that can just go to bed, it takes me an hour or two to wind down, so it ended with me going to sleep at like 2/3 just to get up at 5, chug a coffee and then drive to work for 6. This happened every sunday into monday, so I would always start my week dead to the world.
They tried the whole “well you’ll get less hours” stich with me but like, honestly at that point I would rather have /less/ hours and have proper sleep than deal with being sleep deprived for the week.
Even if they were starting at 9am it wouldnt be enough sleep
OP just needs to go to bed earlier
I’m sensing a sick day in about 4.5 hours
I got sent home after lunch, does that count? :P
I’ve been there, good luck and god speed
That is unsustainable. Suggest not going. Suggest “fuck it” attitude. Suggest sleeping until noon.
Fortunately I don’t have to sustain it. And hell, it was definitely worth it, last night was really fun!
Is that what your username means?
It’s not that bad if you’re young. It gets harder when you’re older. Still sucks, though.
As someone who probably fits your definition of “young,” nah this is painful no matter how old you are. I’ve done this several times since high school and every time I feel miserable for about 2 days after. If you don’t get enough sleep it starts to become normal, until you start getting enough sleep again.
Sleep is important y’all, don’t miss out on it
US? I think this is illegal for many EU countries
Different job and a result of my own stupid decision.
Good luck u got this
Thanks! Honestly I was still buzzing after last night. Got sent home after lunch, so I’m gonna have lots of hot cocoa and a relax. :)
Sounds like best case scenario!
I used to put a lavender pillow over my face when I had to do this, and I’d wake up less tired.
Go to bed at a sensible hour!
Oh, I will tonight, no worries about that. :)
