Hi all,
Well, it is 11 pm and Adrian is supposed to be off work in one hour, then half an hour to get home and we can finally be awake/asleep at the same time!! He has been doing all these night shifts lately, so we are always on opposite schedules and I HATE IT!!
He just called to say he was actually getting sent from there, to another club and has no idea when he will be home!!  I am so upset, this sucks so much!
I know this is stupid but I just cannot sleep when he isn't here! It's not that I miss him or anything so mushy, it's just that I get restless and I toss and turn and end up getting no more than MAYBE 2 hours of sleep. Then he comes home and sleeps all day!
I was so looking forward to seeing him tonight so we can talk and go to sleep together and I would FINALLY get some sleep. Now I will probably be up, lying on the couch watching old movies until 5 o'clock in the morning because I just can't sleep.
I am so worried that him working all his police night shifts will be too much for me. He says I'll just get used to it, but I just HATE THIS, HATE THIS, HATE THIS!!!!!!!
Okay, vent over.

We should start an "I hate nightshift and WON'T get used to it" club! DH works 7 nights straight from 7pm till 7am and I'm the same. Can't sleep and when I do the kids wake me up. Then he sleeps all day while I try and look after kids without sleep! Feels like I have 24 hour shift work. Big hugs. No you don't really get used to it but just kinda learn to accept you don't have a choice (and neither does he and he probably doesn't like it anyway! Have you ever tried to sleep during the day? Near impossible!).

Me too! It can be really frustrating eh? My boyfriend also works late and I start work at 10:30am each day, so I really have to force myself to try and go to bed if he's not home but I don't sleep very well either.
Gradually I've been getting a bit better though...so I'm sure there's hope! Try getting into bed and just relaxing maybe, and hopefully you'll fall asleep that way
