I have never had an issue with insomnia before a few weeks back... A few weeks back I started waking up precisely at 3AM, (I have never had problems going right back to sleep in the middle of the night). The wife has been waking up at the same time.... last night it was 1:30, and until 4 I just tried to blank all thoughts (same with the wife), I think I just drifted in and out, no REM sleep. I can understand if there is something waking us up that we cannot detect, I just do not understand not being able to get back to sleep. I have a 3 day run into New Mexico and west Texas... not a good way to start the trip. If the situation doesn’t correct itself soon, I may just find something else to do for a living. I figured out that my problem was with the knucklehead that I am working with. If we have a three day run, he thinks it needs to be done at in 2, on another three day run it turns into a four day run from hell....and if we are dispatched to New Mexico a week and a half before Christmas he freaks out that we need to be home before Christmas and the thought of Icy roads freaks him out. Unorganized guy that breeds complexity out of simplicity. I do not have insomnia but an aversion to knuckleheaderry...one week left, then off to the HQ for finishing school looking forward to going on my own. Sounds like when you do go on your own, you'll show that other guy up.

If that happens, it won't be with intent, I am sure that in the beginning it will be a bit rocky for me...I am just going to really apply myself to the task at hand, There is only two of us to cover Arizona/ New Mexico/ West Texas...our nearest boss is in Idaho. The guy that retired that I have known for years has said the same thing you said Paddy, but I need to enter the arena with humility and deference to others that have done this longer than me.
Sorry for the thread drift guys, go to bed!

But an ounce of humility goes a long way.
