I used to get a shit night sleep and wake up with sore ribs. Changed bed and now sleep in seperate room to wife. Both of us now get a good sleep.
Apparently my snoring would wake the wife followed by an elbow to the ribs.

Worth trying a 'Mantra' Dom mate to suit the opposite of how you may feel. "Today is going to be a ripper! Today is going to be a ripper!....." Best to keep them silent in your noggin otherwise if you wake the Mrs too early it will be a shit day again :-) Seriously though, we can trick ourselves into positive thought and then good things actually can happen mate.

I used to wake up all fresh and chipper every day.
Now I get 5 hours of broken sleep because of a crying baby and am tired all the time. Lol

Stopped working nights worked for me. I'm not jumping out of bed, but I'm not dragging my ass out either.

I'm 66 and if I just wake up thats enough to keep me going all day. On the good side, our kids have all left home now so it's usually a good uninturrepted sleep and straight into it in the morning. I wake at 6am and get straight on with it. Ill reverse the original question though and say that if I go back to bed, energy and enthusiasm go back to bed and stay there for the day. So its wake up and get up for me.

Did the conversation we had last year helped somewhat?
Either way, great to hear you did that mate. No good usually can come out of long term graveyard shifts, unless of course you're born with the different circadian rhythm than most.
I also got a mate in his fifties to switch from night to day work and he's lot healthier and his missus is happier.
Few extra dollars may not worth it unless it is a desperate situation, 'cos fair bit of extra money can end up with the doctors.

You'll be alright mate. There's no way around it. Babies mean you've got to suffer the first coupla years.

Yeah, I have no arguments. There has to be a certain degree of induced motivation by sheer "will power".
Not everything that is good for our body and mind ain't necessarily enjoyable all the time. Good eating habits is a good example.
Stuff that is good for us don't necessarily taste good.
At the same time, if we have to do it 5 out of 7 days a week, then something probably is not right physically, even mentally.
I get three to four days in a row that sometime I struggle until midday with my energy and alertness. Experimenting with diet and natural stimulants like guarana, gingseng etc atm. Coffee is good, but I get to the point I have to increase the dossage to the point it irritates the stomach lining. Drinking crap load of water in the morning definitely does help. It's the task of finding time to take a leak every hour is the real challenge.

Dom mate, we can all try and eat/water healthy as much as we all like, which is a very very smart idea for keeping the noggin (brain) in good stead! Eventually we all say get a genuine 'Man Flu' yet must find a way on the day to rise above that will to let it beat us and fair dinkum seize 'our' day!
