    I know the feeling. I leave for work at 6, and get home about 8 (depending on if I'm on days or nights, that's 6pm to 8am etc) so I'm out for 14hrs and also have sleep deprivation! On first night shift I'll have been awake for about 24hrs by the time I get to sleep.

    We have to have 11hrs off between shifts. We're supposed to do 7 - 7. So if we finish past 8pm we can come in late the next day. No-one ever does though, we just claim the overtime. Turning up late just messes up things with vehicles and if you're with a different crewmate the next day things get complicated. I think we're all permanently jetlagged at work to be honest.

    You employer can ask you sign something to opt out of the working time regulations though, I think. Maybe you've done this at some point?
