I have an ongoing problem with my current sleep pattern. Since I work a night shift I am awake at night and try to sleep during the day. After 35 years of doing this I am unable to sleep at night on my days off. I had two weeks vacation in October and I didn't accomplish much because I was obsessing about my sleep cycle. I look forward to my days off because I have plans to catch up on my sleep and I get upset when it doesn't happen. I don't like to use sleeping pills but when all else fails...
