I Love the Night Life
I am grieving and in denial tonight over the fact that my love affair with the night is being disrupted. I started back to school today. That meant, I slept Tuesday night and went to bed at 10pm tonight. Heaven forbid! But I've woken up at 1:30am, longing for the quiet stillness of the midnight sky. I'll still work as many night shifts as I can, but instead of maintaining my lovely noctural hours, I will have to function like the rest of night shift folk - in an eternal fog of jet lag without ever leaving the ground - my life flipflopping between days and nights like the random tossing between heads and tales of a coin.

I'm afraid there will be no set amount of time as I will still be working some night shifts. I'll be all over the map. Last night I slept from 11pm to 1am, then 2am to 6am and then I napped again from about 11:30am to 1pm. Ideally, I like to sleep 8 hours. But I don't mind sleeping less if I can sleep more later to catch up. :-) Who knows how my sleep schedule will work out, though.
