To think I simply cannot work a night shift on 4 hours sleep?

Bastard stupid shitty night shifts.

I CAN'T FUCKING SLEEP

it simply can't be done. I cannot work another 13 hours after 4 hours sleep today

Dh does 5 night on the row and to cut down on childcare takes the DC to school.

Next week when dh is on nights I will need to take the DC out a lot to allow him to get sleep. Then I have the lovely task of weekend work as an nhs worker myself.

Do t think I will ever get used to the rota but at least I'm perm days.

Depends totally on what you do. Drink coffee and pray that this utter shithead tiredness will at least mean that you can sleep after tonight.

That's what I'm doing now, not a nurse, 4 12 hour nights and 4 off and I hate it. I'm only getting 4 hrs because I have to pick my daughter up from school and it's not a restful sleep. I'm determined to get off them, it's making me ill.
