I read this article and wish that I could have taken place in the study. Since I started doing Civil service, I have always loved to work 4-12's and Mids. I can say that I am an insomniac and it usually takes me 3-4 hours after a tour to fall asleep and that doesn't usually happen since I have daddy day care. I know what my body requires to function, and it isn't much!
