Personally, when I became a Sergeant and in charge of people, my entire sleep pattern got jacked. I went from a deep sleeper, to light sleeper almost instantly. As a husband and father, I have remained that way ever since. Most nights I need to have white noise machine in order to not be waking up at every sound. I am also a huge fan of naps, as long as they aren’t too long, that’ll get ya.
Same here. The “responsible” for their safety and well being thing changed me forever - and I was just am employer - but it was the commitment to the requirement that got me.
Short naps work the best for me but if i’m not paying attention they’ll turn into a two hour ZZZ-fest.
