I can follow my night-shift schedule perfectly all week, but give me one day off and somehow everything falls apart.

I tell myself I'll just stay up a little later, sleep at a normal time for once, or wake up early to do something. Then suddenly I'm lying awake when I should be sleeping and exhausted when it's time to go back to work.

By the end of my day off, I've somehow managed to ruin the schedule I spent the entire week trying to maintain.

Does anyone else struggle with this? What do you do to enjoy your days off without completely destroying your sleep schedule?
