My husband, John, will start a new job Monday after not working for over three years. He is an electrical designer and will be working for a large company in the Houston area. The petrochemical industry is doing well now and we are hoping he can work for at least two years -- the book store hasn't brought in enough to supplement the Social Security.
I know he can do the job, but he is a true night owl and just can't seem to get to bed before 3 a.m. With this job he has to drive 45 miles and be there at 6:45 a.m. (gets off at 4 p.m.). He doesn't need to be falling asleep at the desk So, I am asking prayers for him to be able to adjust his sleeping habits so that he will be alert during the day.

Thank the Lord he has found a job that will help you guys get some of your money problems solved.
We will be praying that he can get his sleeping habits adjusted to the new schedule. Maybe he could take one of the milder sleeping medications for a little while to get him back on a schedule that would best fit in with the new job. Changing sleep patterns is indeed a real problem. I speak as a true night owl. I have worked on this problem all my life and am trying even harder now that I am older. Everything goes just fine until a person has to start getting up and staying up early. Being a night owl and an early bird combined just doesn't work well, especially when you are not a "spring chicken" any longer. That is when the old expression, "burning your candle at both ends" really kicks in. I wish John luck in this new venture and change of habits.
So, I am asking prayers for him to be able to adjust his sleeping habits so that he will be alert during the day.
