Thanks - that's a good way of putting it. If I'd just had to do a 'safety patrol', it might not have been that bad, but I couldn't go and read a book or anything that relaxes me. I was in 'high alert mode' the whole evening ...
I should point out that I AM STILL CURRENTLY DOING THIS but I'm no longer working and am able to stay up until I can finally fall asleep ...
Oh - I just wish for a normal life again - it seems like such a distant memory now, and I often wonder if I'll ever be able to go to bed at 10:00 every night again.
