As a shift-working newlywed who is still adjusting to sleeping next to an asthmatic husband, I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to come across these posts giving a Christian perspective on the sometimes all-encompassing state of sleep deprivation. So I'm not the only one battling to hold my tongue and wondering where my supplies of Christian charity and patience have flown to on 3 hour's sleep! Thank you for your honesty, and the practical tips on re-establishing prayer life. Such a timely blessing indeed.
You might also enjoy this post - sleep deprived mamma - it's about motherhood, not shift-work, so it's not so immediately relevant to you, but it does show the effect that sleep-deprivation can have on us!
