KC, his shift is killing him. I've known a lot of people on afternoons and midnights, and their MRs always suffer on those shifts. Is his shift a long-term thing? Is there any chance he can work normal hours at some point?
He loves 3rd shift ---- its not the shift, its the 2hr20min round trip drive with it.
We work opposite shifts and he is a commuter - we were a high risk M to start. Those things lead to sleep deprivation, not connecting well, etc.
But, here he is doing all this stuff TODAY. He is getting no sleep TODAY. This is not helping his mindset. But, I suppose he justifies it by the fact he made sure these things were taken care of before he left. :-( Why else is he conitnuing to kill himself? He got more sleep - before BD, when he complained he didn't... WTH?
