Boss showed up and gave my wife and I a ride and let me borrow his truck for the day so we can pick up my car when it's done...so I'm patiently (not so much) waiting for the repair shop to call about my car so my wife can actually get to work some time today...

fun day...

I don't.  I just took a 2 hour nap to try to be ready for raiding tonight and even that didn't cut it.  Simply, tonight i'm going to bed about 4-6 hours earlier and I'm going to sleep for 9-11 hours...

My standard sleep schedule for weekdays is asleep at 1AM the earliest and wake up at 4:30AM for work. Eventually your body does get used it and now when I get a full night sleep I feel like I've wasted so much of the day.

when I was both working and attending day classes back in the spring, I would go to work at 5:30 PM, work until 5:00 AM the next morning, then go down to school.  Classes started at 7:00 AM and ran until 11:00 AM.  I'd get home, shower, and asleep by 1:00 PM.  Up at 5:30 to go to work.  JR is right, you get used to it.  Can't be healthy though.

No, I definitely have more gray hair then any 23 year old should as well as a glorious addiction to coffee and Monster energy drinks (It's too damn hot outside in Georgia for coffee sometimes)
