    Read up on Cicadian Rhythm. Learn to adjust to that.

    If I snooze from 0200 to 0400 (roughly) I’m past the problem.

    It isn’t perfect, but I’m not going to die or worse, just to deliver diapers, toilet paper and tampons

    No matter how desperate some woman, somewhere, is about having run out.

    And thanks to elog just disregard your sleep rythem. You are told when to sleep and when you can work. Life is good.

    Elogs don't tell you when to sleep or eat or pinch a loaf.
    They show you when your legal or not.

    My elog has not dictated when I want to drive. It's been the shippers and the prolonged loading that moves my drive time all over the place.

    Yeah but some people can't figure out what their natural circadian rhythm is.
    Which is very important in this industry.

    Can use 0200-0400 and 1400-1600 as a start.

    There’s a reason cops serve warrants on punks th

    I stopped taking naps when I was on elog a while back. Takes me a good while to fall asleep. A.D.D. , insomnia, and stress from trying to please the elog really make my O.C.D unhappy.
