As a child I seemed to sleep a lot, went to bed early and got up late, and later in life this pretty much continued to be the normal pattern for me. I was never one to stay up very late, even when going out I was usually home before midnight and asleep. Throughout much of my working life I was available to be called out after hours to attend to urgent faults so sleep was often broken, but it never seemed to cause me any great issues.
When I changed jobs in 2007 and went into shift-work I wondered how I would handle it, the answer is - quite easily. I was working in a place where I had my own private bedroom, well sound proofed and quite dark, and I could choose to sleep as much as I needed to and when I needed to. Returning to Brisbane with a solid foundation set to manage sleep and shift-work, it was more-or-less just a change of location. My approach to sleep and shift-work has continued to develop and sleep is given absolute top priority, especially when full night shifts are involved.
