I like to get at least 7 hours but it never happens. My working days are very long.Usually I come home at 6, eat and lay down at 8 to prepare for the next working day but wifey stays up until 10 or so, so I do also to see her and spend time,but then 4:20 comes along too early and I'm struggling to get moving. A good balance should be 8 hours work, 8 sleep and 8 relax or do something constructive.14 hours out and back in the door is too much for working day.Some day I will get back to a good schedule. I took today off because I felt it would be dangerous to be driving 12 hours on no sleep as I had a totally sleepless night.I will prob get a reprimand tomorrow but I did it for the good of myself and the company and public safety. They should understand that.Saturdays 8 to 2 CB work in heat and sunlight kicked my old ass. Wrenching can be tiresome.I feel it the next day sometimes. I'm out of shape.I did not used to affect me,it does now.I'm 53, not ancient yet, but getting there. Tonight is going to suck as I had rest today and that will affect my ability to sleep. I wish I could retire and just work on bikes and cars when I feel up to it and don't have a work schedule. Someday I hope that will happen.
