I am so glad I am not the only one! At work I dream my partner tells me we got a call, so I get up and start getting dressed only to hear them still snoring.

Hehe.
A few weeks ago, I had to get up at 4am to catch a flight…woke up at half 5 when the taxi driver rang me to see what was keeping me. Had only had two hours sleep so was incredibly disorientated and wondered why anybody would be asking such ridiculous questions at that time of the morning. Then the realisation dawned…dressed, packed and out of the house within ten minutes, but not before I had woken up the whole flat in my hurry (particularly when trying to find the light switch and banging my straighteners repeatedly off my flatmate’s door because I hadn’t had time to put them in my bag, followed by thumping my suitcase off every single stair). Never again will I wonder why I book my airport taxis for half an hour early!

I’m just in from dropping our youngest son off at nursery, where I had a chat with one of the mums, during which this subject came up.

Her husband works shifts and has done for years, so he’s often on autopilot until he actually gets to work.

Last summer, he got got up at 3.30am, did his careful, quiet shave, dress and breakfast, did the hour’s drive to work and got on with it.

At 6.30am his wife called him on his mobile and asked where he was. They were supposed to be leaving for the airport at 8am to go on holiday. And the airport is an hour’s drive from their house…

(Fortunately, they were already packed and he works 10 minutes away from the airport so they met there. His wife says it’s going to take him years to live it down.)

Ha ha, a friend of mine was also up at 6, but having gotten in around 11 the night previous, after a few drinks he woke up around 1 ish and thought it was time to get up. He also had a shower and was dressed when his mom came out and asked what the hell he was doing!

LOL. Been there, got the T-shirt – several times.

One of the worst was staggering up and out the door into the winter cold at 4am (for a 5am start), falling into the car, starting it, turning on the radio, and suddenly realising it was Monday, not Tuesday.

Mind you, a friend once got all the way into work and had been there 20 minutes when someone pointed out he was on days off. He wasn’t a happy bunny.

Shiftwork, I’m glad to have put it behind me.
