What is this thread? Where the heck am I...?
While I'm here, let me say this. Some people just ain't cut out for driving all night. Some of us are and we come alive when the sun goes down BUT...we gotta be back in the coffin when the sun comes up.
The night time is the right time for me.

Dawn kills me. Usually 6AM to about 8AM. I'm fine before that. Most graveyards I worked I would leave work 5AM to 8AM sometime. Youd think the sun would wake me back up, but it doesn't. Not at all.
When I have to drive/work days I struggle to fall asleep anytime before 2AM.NavigatorWife, Rideandrepair, Ffx95 and 4 others Thank this. -
I think that is natural because I have worked nights for a while and I'm good until about 3am then I start to get lazy, I wouldn't say so much tired but I just don't wanna do anything anymore. Driving and unloading become more mentally tiring.

It's all about getting a good sleep for me
Once I've conquered getting to sleep, then 5 - 6 hrs later I can get up rested and go to work. But time after time I toss and turn till 7 or 8 o'clock and then when midnight rolls around I haven't had enough sleep and struggle to get out if bed.

I run flatbed love driving at night around that time on the east side through ny & Connecticut. I do eat well & get my proper rest to operate during that time. I had a bad accident 7 years ago during those hours. My spider senses are up so I have no problem pulling it over before had to keep you & me safe
