This is the first thread I have started so I'm not sure if it is in the right category or not. But, I'm hoping to rely on my friends for some advice.
I work nights (12 hours). On a good night I can be home by 8:30 a.m. Then, by the time I eat breakfast (supper), get jammies on, check allnurses, etc. it is 9:00 a.m. or so by the time I get in bed.
My problem is that I have to be up at 2:00 p.m. to get my kids from school. My husband works as a truck driver from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. I have nobody else to get my kids.
Then, I need to help them with homework, supper, etc. So, I normally do not get to go back to bed before going to work again at 7:00 p.m.
So, my question is: How do you all unwind after work to get a good nights (or days in my case) sleep. My phones are turned off, so there is no noise. My bedroom is darkened down, so I have no sunlight. But somedays I just can't turn the mind off and go to sleep.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Otherwise, I love this site and all the people I am meeting in cyberspace.
Thanks for any help.
