Life as a nightshifter vampire

Sleeping in the daytime:

• Leaf-blowers, helicopters, and garbage trucks = sleep enemies.
• Blackout curtains, a good fan, and A/C = sleep friends.
• Audiobooks>Ambien. Eyes are closed, daytime noise and distracting thoughts are drowned out. Currently listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.  

Staying awake at night:

• Coffee does NOTHING.
• Super cold fruit works wonders.
• Nightly dilemma—do I use my lunch break to eat or take a nap?

Lifestyle changes:

• There is no such thing as breakfast, lunch, and dinner…only meal 1, 2, and 3.
• Hunting for places that are open late/24hrs is a regular activity.
• Doing laundry and vacuuming must be scheduled.
• DVR is my only friend when I’m up this late/early:P

The sun is coming up. That’s my cue. Goodnight, world!
