It lasted for 3 months. It was rough because I was actually working 12 hours a day, but it was split up between two places. I would get home a little after 7am from the motel, call my g/f, then get in bed by 7:30. But I had to get up by 2pm in order to be at work at the hospital by 3pm. Got home from there at 7pm, called my g/f, and basically napped for a couple of hours before going back to the motel.
Friday night was my one redemption, because I didn't work weekends at the hospital. So I would usually sleep till 3 or 4, then get up and get ready for my Saturday Night Date with the g/f.
Dividing my sleeping time made me feel "half awake" and "half asleep" ALL the time. I didn't realize how bad it was until a customer came into the motel one Friday night and saw how totally bloodshot my eyes were. He took one look and said "Dude, either you're really tired...or you're doing some really good drugs".
I told him I didn't do drugs..and, YES, I WAS really tired. [/QUOTE]I did not work at a motel, but I did work the third shift at Waffle House (normal shift was 10 to 12 hours), and lived with my grandmother, who hated for anyone that was not her favorite grandchild to sleep past 7 in the morning, that was when I got home btw, after 2 months of very little sleep, I went to see my boyfriend, who is now my husband
he was living with a frined of his. when I was there, I was so tired I could not hold my eyes open, so they gave my some amptriptline(sp?) and it had the oppisite effect they were going for...instead of knocking me out, it made me hyper, so I wound up not getting any sleep at all for almost a week, when I finally did crash, I slept for a very long time.
