Hey folks. I have done on-call work in the past so this isn’t my first rodeo. I have been sleep deprived for a week and have to function. But my self care back then was taking too much Ativan and that’s not a possibility as I no longer take that drug. 

I assume the on-call I’ll be doing will take up the whole night at times and then I’ll have to work a day shift. So it’s going to be intense.

How do you stay sane? I can’t drink too much caffeine because it’s my mania season. I also just don’t sleep well in the summer, even when I’m calm. And now I’m disrupting that.

Any tips would be really appreciated.
