Here's A Horrifying Picture Of What Sleep Loss Will Do To You

64. I can relate

I was a stay at home mom for 15 years before my ex left. So, my sleep cycles weren't an issue for many years. But, then I went to school full time. I've been lucky, with the exception of 1 semester, that I've been able to get classes almost always later than 9:30 am, and usually my school day started at 12:30 pm. Currently, I'm doing a mix of evening and online courses. It's worked very well for me, I'm doing better than ever in school. I only have, after this term, 2 classes left to graduate and then I have to look for a job. I'm worried because not only do I have to make sure I get a job that starts late enough that I can get my kids to school, but now I won't be able to take a short nap after dropping them off (most school days I have to be up at 6am to get the kids to their bus stops). I'm not sure I'm going to be able to deal with a regular work day at all. And in my field, there's no shift work or evening work. It's 8-5. No choices. I could always work out of my home...but I'm not good at drumming up business. ugh. Not looking forward to it, at all.
