I am 6.something weeks and work in hospitality. As such, my shifts are erratic. Last night I finished at 11.15pm and due back now at 7am.
I have called in to say I am unwell, vomiting and, well, more (grim). But I feel so so utterly exhausted. By the time I get home and shower its nearly midnight and it takes me another hour to drop off, as the job is 'go.go.go' so I need to unwind afyer the shift. That then gives me five hours of sleep (with 30mins to get ready before leaving the house in the morning).
I.need to do these sorts of back.to backs twice a week.or so.and they are just destroying me yet I cant see how my rota would work.wothout them.
Anyone else do crazy shifts during early pg? How did you cope?
