Doing a stint of front line oncall. I pulled a night shift this time around. I really mostly don't mind it much - where I work you get a comp day for every week's night shift you pull, but there are aspects of it that are kind of hard.
In particular, when the pager is silent until it goes off at midnight or so is particularly jarring. I've JUST hit deep sleep, so ehwn I wake to the pager I almost feel that sort of out of body experience where you're going through the motions of doing what you need to do but it's like your brain lags behind saying "Hey what? What are we doing? Umm. Sleep? Sleep is good. Oh, work. Yeah we can do that too. Hey wait up!"
