    You have driven for 45 min and as you pull in your driveway you wonder......how the heck you got there.

    You have been rudely awakened by a loud horn and someone making obcene gestures at you and you realize you feel asleep while waiting for the am rush traffic to move.

  5. You pick up a day shift and it really throws you off to start and finish work on the same calendar day.

    You go out for beers with your coworkers after a rough shift.....at 7:30 am.

    When you leave at the end of your shift, you say "goodnight"......at 7:30 am.

    You have to restrain yourself from going off on people who refer to your sleep time as "napping."
