changing your sleep pattern

I'm glad to see that most drivers prefer to drive during the day.I personally find finding a parking space in the evening one of the most aggravating things about this job.I don't find any problem getting on a mid.0100 or 02oo schedule difficult and I know that i will have a large assortment of parking at my disposal from 1100 to 1300.no stress there.Plus going thru a major city at 0300-0400 much better than rush hour,so please keep on driving those daytime runs!

 

May I make a suggestion...first try them during hometime, because they affect people in different ways. Some people wake up rested and fresh, while others wake up feeling groggy...like myself.

Not to hijack this thread, but if you meet a man on Viagra, you need to sit up and pay attention! The best man I have EVER met had ED and he was and is the most satisfying, kindest, caring, loves me kinda guy I have ever met! Most of them CARE about YOU too and will rock your world! You have probably already met one and don't know it! They are spontaneous and fun and VERY satisfying.....

 

I would.I am happily married and looking into the trucking industry to team drive with my husband in a couple of years. He is retired military and currently a computer geek. When our youngest child graduates from high school in 2 years, we are getting our CDL's and team driving for about 5 years and banking the money and then retire for real.
If you are ever in the tidewater area, look us up, I will ride with you (you are married, right?) and find my own way home and see if we like it! I am a homemaker!

 

All I have to say to this is ... Muahahahahahah!

Oh - yeah. Am married. 25 years come October. 28 years together.

Those tired hours - 'those hours prior to dawn', as you call them (nicely put) - tend to occur at different times of the waking day for most people. They tend to be about 8 hours after you wake up - that's one reason people tend to feel sluggish in mid-afternoon.

Then you perk a bit, and slowly taper off as you approach your body's sleepy time - which can vary from day to day, based on a number of things - like how much sleep you've had in the past 72 hours, what you've eaten, how much stress you are under... etc.

And, of course, if varies from person to person. I typically need less than 6 hours of sleep a day. My wife needs 9 or more. I sleep best during the day, she sleeps at night. (So, trucking will work for us - we never see each other anyway)

What I find interesting is a recent study seems to indicate that the *first* hour of driving is actually the most dangerous. I think that was reported on this board a month or so ago.
