What I have discovered this week. Enough caffeine to keep you awake all night is also enough to keep you up all day. Sigh.
I came home from my night shift and started the "process" of unwinding for bed. I was in bed by shortly after 8. I thought that if I slept for a 4 hour period--that would be enough to function, but also be tired enough to go to bed at a decent time.
That didn't happen.
I slept off and on, more off than on. I woke up shortly after 9 am thinking we were having a minor, minor earthquake. I stayed in my bed--then I thought it must be the dog scratching. It wasn't him. Then I realized, it was ME. I was vibrating.
After drinking so much coffee last night before I went in at 11--I switched to water. I pounded water until 3 am.
I work another night shift Wednesday night. I am not going to be caffeinated like I was last night--ever again.
It's now 3.30 pm and I am still feeling jittery.
This morning my co-worker came in about 25 minutes early and took over from me. I really appreciate the people I work with. Today I was working with Chris and Glenn, I really enjoy them, they keep me laughing....then again it could have been caffeine and lack of sleep that was making me laugh.....
