Once you have screwed up your circadian rhythm you never really get it back.It does have advantages though… I never suffer from jetlag, and I can stay awake longer than most people I know…
You’re the only bloke I know that is online at the same times as me, when we ain’t dicking around on here we cover similar miles, so it would be an interesting experiment to leave our yards and head south until the first one of us had to park it, I reckon we’d be starting to feel the strain at the Panama Canal, nothing a cup of coffee couldn’t sort out though I reckon wire would give us a good run for our money, although he’d be lost without a Flying j to hang out in for a few days when we got down there
I used to suffer from insomnia when I was doing irregular start times back in the UK, during my continental years I drove when I was awake, ate when I was hungry and slept when I was tired, but in the UK I had to leave big blank spaces on my tachos so never seemed to have the same start time two days in a row, when ever I was being tipped/loaded/waiting etc, I jumped on the bunk and had a snooze because I was shagged, then that night I couldn’t sleep and the cycle began again, now I park at midnightish, go to bed a couple of hours later and get up at 10am, we have a lot of 2am deliveries, so I stay up late for them rather than getting up early, I now wake up in the wide awake club and never feel tired during the day, so it seems as if I’ve found my circadian rythym once again and I feel a lot better for it
