Haven't found a new job yet. Kind of in the weird "terminal leave" period where I'll still draw a paycheck for the next couple months, but don't have to report to base for work ever again.

Have a job interview in Texas next week that I'm optimistic about, but we'll see how it goes.

Wow, good luck with that. I know you'd be thrilled to get back to Texas. I hope it works out for you.

And yeah I've been giving some thought to prescription meds to ease the transition. Been a little over two years on night shift and my body hasn't responded well to the sudden change.

Seriously, I'd just go explain it to your physician. Most of them are understanding & responsive to prescribing sleeping aids as long as they monitor you. Sometimes you just need them. Hell, that's what they're for. People get too uptight about that these days.

Yeah, I think I'll give it another week and see how it goes. If I'm still having trouble I have no problem going and getting a little help. I think the real issue is that I kind of coped with working nights by getting used to sleeping in short little bursts, so now days seem like way too long to stay awake continuously, and can't stay asleep for a full night. It's annoying
