Sleep

If you haven't noticed by now, sleep is important to me. I love sleep. Seriously. I hope I still get to sleep in heaven. I've always loved sleep. I don't do well without sleep. In fact, I'm at my best when I get a full 8-9 hours of glorious sleep. Well that doesn't work out super well working graveyard shifts. Fortunately I also like what I do.

WELL, I should have been a Doctor.  I started working at a new location with my current job. It's like a mini satellite hospital here and it happens to be much closer to home for me. Well there is always a doctor on duty at this little pediatric hospital. But guess what....they get their own dark room with a bed and a pillow! This bed is not just to lay down on during a half hour or hour break either guys... they can go in there and sleep whenever they want (as long as no patients need them at the time that is). We can call them anytime of course, but seriously the last night I worked the doctor slept at least 6 hours. I was so jealous. Nurses do not get to sleep... we have to be up and ready at all times through the night. Sometimes it's downright painful, but we endure because it's our job and somebody needs to be ready. Sick kids don't suddenly get better and not need anything during the night.

I should have been a doctor.
