I have been completely unable to get into a sensible sleep pattern again after nights. Last set of nights was bad, I presume, because I was sick and just spent most of the week asleep. This set there’s no such reason.
I just can’t get to sleep. I’ve got a lot going on in my head with the list of jobs I think need doing; but even still, tonight I woke up at 12:48 having only gone to sleep just after 2200. 3 sodding hours of sleep. Since then I’ve been awake. I’ve counted, I’ve tried relaxation things, and as it gets later I’ve got that angst that comes of knowing that you’ve got a long shift ahead (12 hours) and that you’re tired already.
Lord only knows how I’ll feel walking the mile to the railway station at 20:00 to get the train back home. I’m quite tempted to drive in, but I suspect parking in London Hospitals is a bit more tricksy than the suburban ones I normally do shifts in.
Anyway, one cup of sleepytime tea and we’ll try again, an extra hour and a half of sleep’s definitely better than no more sleep.
