14. I'm neither a morning person or night owl

On my most days I'm more like a intermediate bear chronotype.

I work morning to afternoon shifts but I never feel rested, like ever.


I feel most awake in the afternoons.


I'm exhausted by the time 6pm, 7pm, 8pm rolls around. The fact that it turns pitch black outside at 4:30pm doesn't not help me at all.


Sometimes it doesn't matter how exhausted I am, I wake up at weird hours (generally midnight to 4am) and I have a hell of a time trying to get back to sleep.


Then I get up to go to work and my brain clunks out on me because I didn't get 8 to 9 hours of sleep that I need to function.


Bah Humbug.
