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?

Get the new guy to read you a bed time story and tuck you in real tight

At least that’s what works for me

If brothers can’t comfort each other, what are we even doing here?

agree. you can't really call yourself a brother until you've read someone to sleep
