[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]0508 here.  I'll add, I sleep "normal people" hours when I am not working.  So weekends, days off, etc I go to bed at 10pm with DH and get up to help get DS ready for school. [/quote]

That must be so difficult to mess with your sleep schedule like that. 
When I was in college I worked in a grocery store and my shifts were all over the place;  some times I worked overnight (9 pm-5:30 am) and sometimes evenings (3 pm-9pm) or really almost anytime around the clock, depending on the store's needs.   In between those hours I was fitting in classes, studying, etc. and therefore never really had a consistent schedule.  Not having a consistent "sleep time" really wrecked me and my health definitely suffered.  I only did it for a few years while in school and couldn't have kept it up longer than that.   [/quote]

I've been doing it for about 7 years (before DS was born) and have had no problems.  It is definitely not for everyone and I've had many coworkers leave because it was too difficult to arrange a sleep schedule.  I've been fortunate that it's an easy adjustment for me.  I'm sure as I get older (I'm 33) I may not be as fortunate so I'll enjoy it for now [/quote]
