Thread: When Do You Sleep?

I sleep when the spammers are banned

When at home i usually sleep about 01 - 07 weekdays, on weekends few hours longer. When at work for longer periods, we have 4/4 system: 4 hrs on watch and 4 hrs off. After few days it makes me feel like a zombie, but after few more days i get used to it.

I typically sleep when I can. As a locomotive engineer I'm on call thursday to monday 24 hrs a day. This means I may work all night and then work all day. It's a federal law now that they have to give us 10 hours off between runs, but you should try to sleep when you aren't tired or are amped up...only to know that you are going back to work in 10 hours. I'm actually considering finding another job, it's just that a good one is few and far between...

And we all appreciate it.

Amen! My other favorite forum, a gun forum, shut down due to spammers and I'm not sure if it will ever come back up. I need to check it out now that I think about it...

My wife needs more sleep than I do, but we normally go to bed at about the same time (I have trouble falling asleep without her as well). I usually get up earlier than her.

The normal schedule is 10 ish until 6 - 6:30 am

Usually at night. Most times between 11.00 PM and 06.00 AM

Since I work a five day week around 8:00 to around 5:00 (or 6:00, or 7:00), I try to keep a regular pattern of 10:00 or 11:00 to 6:30. It's my way of pretending to be normal. With all the responses that indicate odd hours, I wonder if there's a correlation between unconventional activities such as straight razor shaving and unconventional sleep habits. Any researchers out there?

Like Sam Elliot said in the movie Roadhouse " I'll get plenty of sleep when i'm dead"

As a long ago former nightclub bouncer, I'm embarrassed to admit that I LOVED that movie. I was the smallest bouncer the club had ever hired, since I was 6'1' and weighed 220. When I went in for the interview, the club manager, who was huge, took one look at me and told me that there was no way that I could work there. I asked him if I could throw him out of the club, could I have the job? He said yes, so I offered to shake on the deal. He held out his hand, I took hold of his pinkie and index finger and bent them back hard while moving behind him and holding his shoulder. I walked him to the door and got the job!

While working there I removed 7 knives and 1 gun from uncooperative patrons, but in general, I did not have to be disagreeable because my size was not intimidating. The huge bouncers would get in the faces of the the drunk guys and essentially back them into a corner. With impaired judgement, they would start a fight and the bouncers would easily dispatch them and boost their own egos. I tried to use diplomacy. Generally if a guy needed to be booted out it involved a problem with alcohol, lack of social grace, and a girl. Usually I could get the guy to leave if I just pulled him aside and informed him that I needed him to leave and he was welcome to save face by just leaving with his girl on his own. This gave them the chance to save face, because I was not backing them into a corner and humiliating them. This worked so well for me that I occasionally was tipped by guys I was kicking out!
