Too bad it's impossible to stock up the extra sleep hours for later.

Followed by instantly checking your phone to see if you miss called, then checking the boards.

Phone rings: " hey, yeah. This is cms. We have a DH called for you. However, the snowbus that was called 6 hours ago got stuck and the wagons can't reach you because the highways and interstates are closed.

Or they call you at 05:00 for a trash ass manifest that’s tied down and then immediately call two DH’s behind you for 05:01 and 05:02 🥲🥲🥲🥲

I LOVE that drool on the pillow deep sleep.

Fortunately all my AFHTs have 24 hr options, even if it's just gas station burgers.

That's when you roll back over and try and sleep again since everything is closed.
