The downside of working nightshift at Yafiz, Sha'ar Binyamin, is that no matter how tired I am by the end of the shift, I can't fall asleep. I keep trying all sorts of things to unwind when I get home. Nothing works. Even when my mind is blank, like last night, I can't fall asleep for the longest time.
At work, like performing in the theater, I enter a special energy zone, and it's hard to remove it. Selling, like teaching, is a performance art.
For me, nightshift ends up being about eight hours. Because we don't have frequent or hourly bus service I get to work an hour earlier than needed. I do a drop of shopping in Rami Levi discount supermarket and then I sign in to work. After Yafiz closes at 9:30 we straighten up for about a half hour. And then I must find a ride home. Last night, a girl from Ofra who works in Rami Levi found us a ride. It ended up going to Shvut Rachel and the driver took me into Shiloh, all the way up the hill. The walk home was barely three minutes. Then I washed dishes, put some groceries away, other chores, ate a drop of pea soup, checked emails and still couldn't fall asleep after getting into bed. Eventually, I did, but it took well over half an hour, and it was very late.
This unwinding problem must be physical. I wish I knew some "pressure points" to press to relax me. I only drink coffee early in the morning, so it's not from caffeine.
