I really would have to get out of aviation if this happened. Last Summer I had to report sick for duty a couple of times as I was so dog tired. Starting on an early.... min rest ...driving home as the sun was coming up from a deep night ..minimum rest again...then last day finish on a late. In bed with the sun coming through the curtains and the world going about its noisy business....no chance of a sleep. Lots of guys I know use melatonin but now can't seem to sleep without it! Really not looking forward to this season as it is
