My heart soars with the eagle's nest

Something crazy has happened with my sleeping. I've always been a complete night owl and I usually never fall asleep until well after midnight and frequently it's the early hours before I nod off. However, over the last few days I've been going to bed super early and actually falling asleep at eleven and even ten o'clock! And yet I'm still exhausted in the morning when it's time to get up to go to work. My body clock totally messed up today. I fell asleep at ten and woke again at three thirty in the morning and could not get back to sleep... until about seven thirty when I was just starting to nod off as my alarm sounded. I ignored it for as long as possible (which is what I always do) and then had to rush to make it to handover in time. The plus side was that I got to see The Office premiere before I left for the hospital and wow. Just wow. I was completely unspoiled and it was simply wonderful. We discussed some pretty sad things in our meeting at eleven o'clock today and I found myself tearing up at one point but I just thought back to that rest stop scene and I was inwardly smiling again. And now I need to go sleep... again. Medicine is exhausting.

medicine, sleep (or lack of it), the office
