I just worked 25 days of 13-14 hour days, took 1 day off, and am about to do it again.

[Anonymous No.15788293]

I haven't slept more than 3-6 hours a night in months, average is probably 4-5. I wake up at 620AM, drive an hour to work (no choice, because I'm an outage worker and its the closest hotel), work a 12 hour shift, drive an hour back, then lay down in bed and cant sleep.

My legs twitch, my heart races, I sometimes try to drink or abuse drugs to relax but it only provides temporary relief.

Last night, I got maybe 2.5 hours of sleep and I am two hours into my 12 for today. This week, I will earn approximately $5500 after taxes.

It's so weird because I do feel like a slave. I feel so anxious, depressed and sick all the time when I work because there is no time for recreation, sex, or anything, and my work stresses me out so much that I can't sleep, so just toss and turn every night for hours. One more month of this hell and I'll get the rest of the year off.

Anyone else do outage work like this and hate their life / can't sleep? What do?

You’re making 120,000 a year?

You get MONTHS off? You sound like absolute faggot. $5500 a week is 10x the national average man the fuck up and shut the fuck up, there’s tons of people working two full time jobs bringing in 30% of what you are.

What a shithead. Buy LINK with your crybaby paycheck (you won’t.)

Outage work is pretty sweet if you can get your foot in the door. Quit your bitching faggot. Try getting some exercise after your shift (just a light jog or whatever,) and taking some melatonin 30 mins before you lay down. Also try to avoid fast food.

bros I might be able to be a general manager at a sandwich store. I would make like 53k annual after the tiered training into what would be my actual pay but I would be just a fucking retail nigger. should I take it? I think I can get an internship at a real company doing AmazonWebServices instead. but free sandwiches and cranky customers . . .

If youre that smart you should know that we dont live in a society that rewards intelligence, we live in a society that rewards those who are connected. If your grandfather was a card carrying mason in the Edinburgh lodge you could expect to have gone from a painter to an oil rig project manager in Asia with no actual qualifications. I know one.

Thanks, but the whole point of the post was to connect with other people who could help me sleep. I wouldn't hate my fucking life if I actually slept while I was on the job instead of toss and turn anywhere between 3-6 hours a night.

I know what its like to be sleep deprived, at least for me I start going apeshit on everyone who I interact with until I can actually get a good long sleep. The kind of thing where you sleep 3h here, 5h there, but never really fill your energy back up. Yea its brutal, but I dont get paid for it.

That was yesterday, and I slept 9 hours the previous because I didnt have to go in for the first day in 25 and then last night I only got 2.5, and feel like garbage today. I even tried laying on the floor and in the bathtub. I was in my bed at 1030 and didn't get to sleep until after 3:00AM with my alarm set for 6:25. My body woke up at 6:00 AM, and I couldn't fall back to sleep. what bullshit is this?

Dumb Dumb, hit a weak joint after you've had a shower and wash your teeth, make sure you're room is tidy, hit the bed and see how good it feels to have a deep uninterrupted sleep, the next day.

I work night shifts, I know your pain, and everyone working night shifts know too.
