Managing sleep schedule?

Funny, I remember when we went from 8 hrs off to 10 hrs off and my first reaction was, what am I going to do with those two extra hours. I still think 10 hrs is too long to be mandatory.

 

Um, okay then. I don't know how my personal hygiene is important here but if it makes you feel better good. Also, I hardly am just "getting by". Where did I get the notion you had trouble sleeping? Dude are you kidding me, read this thread again.

So your answer because you can't sleep is to make our mandatory breaks longer there by punishing us for having the audacity to be able to sleep enough in 10 hours? I'm starting to think I get what's going on here. Bad attitude and a poor me problem. Oh well, they come around daily on here.

 

Who is blaming you? It's your truck, your career and your paycheck. I don't think anyone cares what you do with all three. Want to sleep more? Awesome, won't affect my paycheck one bit.

 

If you want to take 10+ hrs off, do it. How much time you need is between you and your carrier. DOT don't care how long you take so long as it is a minimum of 10 hrs (or 8 and 2 sleeper berth rule).

 

Lol, super trucker. Okay......

 

If I can't get into the bed and go to sleep pretty quickly, I haven't worked hard enough....
