When you start working at 4am Monday-Friday, it seems as though I must strategize the time I will go to bed at every time. Generally, I think about the times I'll be able to go to bed at each time throughout the week. Sunday's and Monday's are football until 10:30 so I won't be able to sleep until 11. If that's the case, I'll sleep later on Monday afternoons when I come home to nap. Then I'll try to wake up sooner on Tuesday so I can go to bed earlier Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night.
This week however, everything's been thrown off. With the Sunday Night Football game pushed back until Tuesday night, and the Mizzou Bowl game on the west coast not playing until 9pm, I must decide if I will take two naps today and pull an all nighter, not watch the entire bowl game and go to bed around halftime, or leave it up to my ability to wake up to my alarm clock after sleeping for only 3 hours once the game is over at 12:30.
Wow, this has been quite a boring post. I guess ultimately, I feel the all nighter is and has always been a tricky thing. At one point does your body plan physically and mentally to pull the all-nighter. And, when pulling the all nighter, when does your body kick into hallucinations, and just walking seems to make every bone in your body ache? I've pulled a few all nighters in my life and it never fails that at some point the chore is not to try and stay awake but instead to just move pain free.
