i was working graves 12-830am for about 2 yrs.. with my son who is now 2and a half.. he was in bed at 6-30 and I would get about 4 hrs of sleep if that b4 I had to be in, and during the day I would sleep while he took his nap.. but finally it caught up with me (being a single mom) and I quit.. It was really hard but as time went on it got harder.. never again will I work graves...

I was working graveyard waitress when I found out I was pregnant. Worked up until 5 months, and had to stop due to irregular heartbeat. The doctor thought the lack of sleep was not helping my heart problems.
Oh....haven't had a issue with my heart since I went on leave. Guess my doc must have been right .
