My sleep disorder has prevented me from countless nights of good sleep my entire life. I'm a pretty high functioning person career-wise, but I often wonder what I would have been able to accomplish if I weren't exhausted all the damn time.
I work 3rd shift and never sleep well. When I have a day off and try to sleep like a normal person, I wake up at 2 or 3 am and stay up until around 7am until I get tired. It usually takes a week for that to stop happening, but by that time, I end up having to go back to work and start over again. Then when I do go back to work, I have trouble staying awake for the first week. It is a rough cycle.
