When I go to work I don't sleep well at night... well actually once asleep I am like a log, it's getting to sleep that's the problem.

I do 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, the company provide all of my meals and accomodation, the unit they provide is really nice, it's two rooms. One room is the lounge and kitchenette, the other is bedroom and ensuite.

The problem I have is that for the first 4-6 days I can't get to sleep until about 11.30 to midnight, waking up around 6. The tiredness builds up and after that I go to sleep about 9 or 10.

I have recently become self aware of how much of a bad mood that puts me in and I responded poorly to some helpful suggestions because I took it the wrong way. It wasn't a full out flame war attack but it certainly could have been better.

Sorry Michael and the others that suggested corrections to the terminology.
