I don't have issues sleeping. My body just doesn't feel like it slept and still wants to sleep during the day. There's really no way to avoid the shock. Just takes a bit to adjust. It took me about a month to fully adjust when I did this in the past. Certainly not as easy now that I'm older lol 

 It’s not your first time 😎 …sounds pretty hard. I remember reading about athletes adjusting things when they must perform in different countries but your situation is definitely something different 

 The difference is that I didn't do it for almost three years straight the last time. And I'm older 😂 

 I’m thinking about applying for night shifts 😂 might not have been my best idea after all 

 It's fine if you don't try to flip back and forth on your off days. I'd be fine with it if I wasn't married.
