What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?
I’m an early to bed, early to rise girl. As a pre-op nurse, my department hits the ground running at 0600. Patients going into the OR at 0730 are told to report at 0530. Brew the coffee and get going! My shifts rotate between 0530-1500, 0600-1530 or 0530-1800 so my alarm goes off at 0330 and I hit snooze afew times before I drag my sorry ass out of bed. I like to be in bed between 1930-2000 and lights out by 2100. I’m strict about my bedtime. I owe it to my patients to give them a rested nurse. I laugh to myself when my kids were younger and if they made any noise at night after I’d gone to bed my husband would ask them if they knew what they were getting themselves into by waking me up. On the weekends I’m happy if I can sleep until 0700 but that’s sleeping in for me.
