In Shift Work .
This is starting to get a bit to regular for my liking. I'm not certain,
but I think this is the third time this has happened now. More
disturbingly, is that I think it is the second time this year, where I
have been unable to go to work, due to not getting any sleep at all
over-night.
In this case I think the shift pattern I have done over the last two
weeks explain the cause, quite clearly, in this instance.

Today was supposed to be a 1st.
As can be clearly seen, there were only two occasions when there were
two consecutive shifts that were the same, in the last couple of weeks.
Every other shift was different from one day to the next. No wonder my
body-clock gave up in protest.
So, today, After being awake all of yesterday and all of last night, I
am staying awake all day today, to reset my body clock.
What shift am I doing tomorrow? I don't know yet, and won't find out
until this afternoon. I would guess a first shift tomorrow, but it could
just as feasibly be a 23:00 start tonight, I will find out in a few
hours.
