I'm exhausted. I work 2pm-10pm two days a week, and then have to work 6am-2pm two other days a week. In order to get to work on time I have to rike a bike for 40 minutes. This means I have to get up at 4:40am two days a week, but can't go to sleep until 10:40pm when I get off work. Six hours of sleep is not enough. I've been getting in shape going to the gym, and making a lot of progress these past six months, but my gains are being killed by my work schedule. Every monday I have to struggle to get up at 7am because my body is thrown for such a loop by my wonky work schedule, that I just want to sleep in all day. If I don't get up at 7, I wind up sleeping half the day away. I have a portfolio to work on, and I need to keep my skills up to date. I have a game backlog that grows every month. I only work 4 days a week, but between my commute, portfolio work, and exercise I wind up putting in 56 hours a week.
