Was this the point where I lost the ability to sleep deeply? My phone could ring at any time of night or day, and I would have to be at the airport in an hour or less.Īnd, of course, since it was day or night, I was constantly being woken up.
The worst part was my five years of being “on reserve,” or on-call. I had time-zone changes, early morning check-ins, and plenty of red-eye flights where my eyes were, in fact, pretty damned red. I blame it, in large part, on my twenty years working as a flight attendant. I’m talking night after night of laying awake until two, three, or even four in the morning, utterly exhausted but unable to fall asleep. I don’t mean the sort of insomnia where you have a sleepless night or two. I’ve lived with insomnia for more than twenty-five years, which is most of my adult life.
