Meece 1,957 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Sleep.? I used to sleep until I was always out until stupid night shooting and just generally working. Sometimes I used to get about 3 hours and then back up for work. It got to the point of perhaps I didn't need sleep at all. I went to quack about it and he just said "well, that's the way it is, some people dont need much sleep". Obviously you dont feel comfortable about your sleep pattern because you come qcros as highly agitated about it. I very much doubt that they will give you pills for it. Tramadol is a very strong pain killer. Like after surgery. It can be adictive and you have to take laxitive because it binds you up to the point of needing a corkscrew. I was given some after surgery. try hypnosis.- you have to zone out and relax to sleep. Edit... I now go to bed at about 3AM but I wake naturally at about 7 AM. It suits me and I don't feel tired during the day. Probably not doing me any favours long term but " That's the way it is ". Edited January 8, 2021 by Meece 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never been a great sleeper at all even when I work days but nights just fcuks me up. I can feel negative effects within the week, bad guts, raised heart rate, etc... I do think it's a mindset thing, I'm stressing about having no sleep and it turns in to a vicious circle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talk to work about it - you know what the railway is like about safety, they might change your shifts. ............... that'd be better than meds to make you sleep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
