I’ve been sleeping through my gym alarms more often recently. Between the overall lack of sleep, overtime at work, and all the bs that comes with work in general I’m in a perpetual state of exhaustion.

Sounds like maybe a light or deload week is in order?

Well, it’s mostly work that’s giving me the most issues right now, between the 12 hour shifts 4-5 times a week, and I usually only get 1 day off a week, sometimes 0.
I was also just informed that they are downsizing my department, so i can either go to 3rd shift after being on 1st for the last 7 years or leave the department and make significantly less.
