"Have you forgotten where you are"?
Yep!!! Regularly. For 39 years I've worked a rotating shift work schedule of day's, evening's and nights with my days off changing from some time's every week to usually every 6 weeks. Many a day I've awoke and had to think for a few second's as to why I set the alarm and where do I have to be today? It's happened to me in our RV too! More than once I've awoke to the RV clock radio alarm and found myself not sure of where I am, where we are, and what I'm supposed to be doing. Since the early 60's I've had a recurring nightmare. It seem's to alway's show up when I'm most tired after only a few hours sleep and when I'm close to my day's off. I usually take several seconds to clear the head and know life's still good and where I'm at. I'm wondering if after I retire in 299 more days and we start RV'ing 3/4 time, if I'll still have the same dreaded type nightmare wakeups. It's nice to think that maybe retirement and rv'ing 3/4 time will finally cure the dream. Details to follow!!!
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
I worked as a cop for 20 years and we switched every week from midnight to 8 AM, 8 AM to 4 PM, 4 PM to midnight I would have done anything to work steady tours and it never happened but with my luck the department switched to steady tours about a year after I retired. Working rotating tours for 20 years can mess upm your system, my first year as a rookie I almost didn't show up for work because I thought it was a day off but I was due in at midnight. My department had crazy hours we would only work 4 midnights but would have rotating days off we would come in for the first 2 mids then have a day off and then come back for 2 more days, the next time out we would work 3 days have one day off the come back in for one day
