Thank you! Yeah, I mentioned the 20hr/7hr thing because that's what it feels like my body is trying to do. It's hard to say for sure because I've never just completely let myself go natural and journaled it for any length of time - I always get caught up in schedule guilt. I'll also randomly have nights where I sleep 12-18 hours straight, then easily stay up with no fatigue for 24-26hrs, then sleep 4, then stay up only 15-16 then sleep 7-8 again and... It just feels like chaos sometimes.

I can definitely relate to the boss saying "your schedule is getting insane." That's where the guilt starts to come in, and boy, all I can say is it's a good thing I'm good at my job and it's worth it to the company to let my schedule fall where I'm most productive. (EDIT: By which I mean, I feel unbelievably grateful and lucky to have such a flexible job.)

i recommend talking to a doctor, and making sure you don't drive while sleep deprived. keeping a log of any kind of it may help, but again, i'm not a doctor! :P anyway, bust of luck to you, and for me at least, the "getting away" with something because i was "good" got to be old, and i realized i wasn't getting away with anything or something, i dunno... i guess my point is I felt that way too, and my perspective on it has changed some. best of luck!!!!!
