I am awake gone 2am. This is horrific. I love twilight shifts, bar the fact that it means you don’t get any evening, because we start our shift at 4pm and finish at midnight. I normally go to sleep between 11pm and midnight, so in theory my day isn’t that different from a normal 9-5 (not that I have done a 9-5 in the last 4 months but I digress!) but when I get home from a shift of neither Accidents nor Emergencies I cannot sleep immediately. And like today, no adrenaline required at all for what I saw today, in fact, I think I admitted only one patient… and a fractured neck of femur is pretty no-brainer.
I feel like writing something about the fact that I only have 15 emergency shifts left but right now, I really need to attempt to sleep. Otherwise when my alarm goes off at 9:30am, once again, I will remain in my warm beautiful bed until noon.
