One of those nights again when I wake up at 4 am., 2 hours before my alarm. This happens often with early morning shifts nowadays. I have repeatedly wished evening shifts because it fits me and my gf's natural rhythm, she usually has only evening shifts, and can't get to sleep earlier than midnight, and has a history of sleeping problems. I've explained all this very clearly to my boss, that I simply don't get enough sleep before early morning shifts, and that sleep deprivation isn't desirable as someone with an autoimmune disease.

Yet I'm still getting mostly morning shifts.

That's why I'm quitting by the end of the month. Luckily I've positioned myself so I don't live hand to mouth. Ideally this will remain the last job of my life.
