Tonight, I am working the graveyard shift at the hotel I work at. I am a front desk agent, so of course I see everything. This is the second night that I will be working this shift and I am falling in love.
Of course it has its major downsides including almost losing control and falling asleep, smoking way more than normal, and hitting insanity when it is 3:40 am and it is completely dead in the lobby.
Besides that, I have actually found many things I enjoy about being up when almost everyone is asleep.
1. The people who are awake are freaks, weirdos, prostitutes, and pimps. Not that I condone prostitution, but it is quite interesting and is an amazing learning experience to have to interact with these people. Considering I live in houston and work by highway 6, pimps and prostitutes are not a rare sighting.
2. I can get SO much school work done. I have done more studying in the first night at work during the graveyard shift than I have the past two weeks. You have to stay awake, so it's much easier to study because there isn't that much to do.
3. I get a lot of time to myself which can be awful or it can be amazing. I've thought about who I am and what I can accomplish in life....i NEVER think about that stuff. I'm so much more of a "in the present" type of person.
I guess that's about it.
Ill write later tonight when I'm halfway dead.

What is the last thing you think of before falling asleep?As a firefighter/paramedic, I am away from home for 24 to 48 hours at a time. On the nights I am away, the last thing I think about is my wife and two little girls, praying that God keep them safe while I'm away. What do...

Do you have trouble falling asleep?I don't know about you, but for myself I tend to stay awake into the wee hours of the morning. I don't know why. My brain just doesn't shut up, and keeps thinking about things in life.So, do you have trouble falling asleep ?
