Sleep: feast or famine

Transitioning to my new schedule has it benefits: seeing my husband everyday, less traffic, the fun 3rd shifters I get to work with but what I'm struggling with is sleep.

Its feast or famine. One or two nights of 10 hours... then a night of no sleep or less than 4 hrs. In other words I'm completely oversleeping or completely sleep deprived with no consistent rest.

I'm also struggling to work out. It means I need to stay up til light to head out for my run thus encouraging the insomnia, but the insomnia and hypersomnia cycles are leading to lethargy/laziness. In the next few days I will outline my P90X training plan so I can start that on Monday.

Another drawback:  I'm hungry ALL the freaking time because my body doesn't know when to eat so it wants to eat all the time.

I'm only on week 2 of this new schedule so i hope in the next two weeks to get my body calibrated to this lifestyle and also work on regaining my life.

Stay tuned....
