Well in about 30 minutes I'm off to my new job (2nd job actually) at the sleep lab.
I was a sleep tech for about 3 yrs but have been a computer dork for the past 2.

Business has been slow and we can use the money. The pay is good about $19/hr.
one of my closest friends if the head night buy there so we'll have fun as I get in the swing of things.
I got up about 7AM today and haven't been to sleep, i'll get home about 6:30 AM:(

I'm hoping to only do this 2 nights a week but a schedule like that is going to screw up my sleep cycle to no end.

anyways wish me luck :)...and post any sleep questions you have.

That will definately screw your cycle. If I happen to just fall asleep in the middle of the day for 15 minutes, instead of going to sleep at 1am I end up staying up till 3am. Which really screws me up. Talk about a powernap. :/

Last month, some of my works days were virtually 4 a.m. - 8 p.m.

That was insane, and I've toned things back down since then.

Ok, I scream in my sleep, have nightmares, am violent when I wake up, and sometimes sleep walk.

Any ideas? I'm serious here.
