sleep

oh boy..its 4.45 am and i am still awake..

i blame it on post night shift syndrome..

which is a term me and my fellow missy use to define insomnia due to altered sleep-wake cycle post night shift..

huhu..

i guess most of the people who work night shift will encounter this problem..

be it a nurse/doctor/pharmacist in hospital..anyone..as long as they really work throughout the night without sleep for days..they have this problem..

yea..a lot of my friends and family asked.."u all really never sleep mer?patients also sleeping.."

yea right..young patients sleep..old patients..they climb bed..jump out of bed..playing with *hit at night..

and in icu?patient suppose to be all ill and cannot make noise or anything right?

you are wrong..in icu..patients are that critical that they can collapse anytime..

we have to do cpr..bag to support their breathing..give medicine..

we see the monitor..interpret the rhythms..changes in values on the monitor..

but sometimes in private hospital..not all icu patients is that ill..

some doctors just admit patients to icu for the sake of admitting patient..$$ minded

or the patient has a datuk/dato/tan sri/ etc..

*sad to admit..*

because in icu..we give 1 nurse to 1 patient care..

and some of these monkeys will treat you like their maid at home..

#$%@#$%

oh god..anyone have any suggestion on how to regulate back sleep cycle?

tried staying awake whole day after work on 1st off day..

work at times only..

any other suggestions?
