Respect for sleeping time

Published

I have been working graveyard shift for about a year (12 hours shift 1800-0600) and I am constantly amazed how little respect that people have for my sleep time. My family feels that 2 hours sleep should be plenty and if I sleep longer than 4 hours, my husband is waking me up. My kids activities are scheduled around 10:00 am and I am constantly guilted into comitting to help in my church from 9:00 am to 12:00 on sundays even though I have just worked 4 or 5 12 hour graveyards straight. I have tried everything I can think of to convince everyone that I need to sleep too, but it falls on deaf ears. Anyone else have problems like this? What did you do to finally get your sleep?

yes.gifI agree with what everyone else has said. It only took 1 or 2 times of me coming out of my room growling and raising **** pissed.gifto get it through to my family. Now when I come home from a night shift my family "conveniently" has some where to go for about 9 hour :p . I turn off the phones and have blacked out my windows.(I used aluminum foil-looks tacky works great). :rolleyes:
