When everyone was sleeping in the middle of the night, I was driving 18 miles to work to fix an issue and back home. Sometimes catching a few hours in the parking lot before going into the locker room to take a shower and start the day. I can nap occasionally but hate to do more than about 15 minutes. Any longer than that, it feels like there is a hangover for the rest of the day. Groggy and lazy. The overtime pay went into investments retiring early by design. We have a sleep number bed now that can be tuned to the personal requirements for comfort. I've had an occasional issue with acid reflux. Found that using the feature that tilts the head of the bed a couple of degrees eliminated that issue. I go to bed around 12:30 am and get up after a couple of bathroom visits at 9:30 am feeling pretty refreshed. When sleeping it's a hard sleep. Never remember a dream happening until shortly before waking up.</blockquote>
