From experience, getting 5-8 pages a night every night during 12am - 6am gets very old very quickly; even if it is once every 4 weeks. Even more so when you're also expected to front work at 8:30am regardless of the night before.

The OP's described situation sounds like it is hideously under staffed / resourced.

But it doesn't have to be that way; I have friends who worked at Sun (back in the day obviously) where they had approx 1 in 5 week rota, and always two on call at once (one primary and one secondary). And that with a typical 2-3 pages out of hours. A night and day difference.
