Cannot sleep at the station anymore

[u/c00kieduster]

15 years in, company officer at a suburb dept of 4 stations, 100ish people, 48/96. We average 4-5 in a 24 hr period, sometimes 1-2, sometimes 12-16.

It’s not all that uncommon for us to get to sleep through the night. However, in the last year or 2, I simply cannot sleep through the night. Even without calls, I’m getting up 2-3 times. Usually it’s a toss and turn, occasionally I’ll get up to go to bathroom but that’s not the reason.

When I’m at home, my head hits the pillow and unless something wakes me up, I sleep like a baby.

Anyone experience this? Got any tips?

I found that contrary to my personal beliefs, chaining zyn all day until I try to go to sleep doesn't help me get any rest.

Blasphemy.

So should I switch back to grizz again then? Please say yes.

[u/llama-de-fuego → u/ModifiedGerbil]

Yeah but put it between your toes so you don't have to take it out when you eat.

I was recently standing next to somebody who opened up a fresh can of grizz wintergreen and I caught a whiff of it. My mouth actually watered.

I found that if I just leave one in and night I do better

nicotine nightmares are the best.
