Plus like you i do have to concentrate quite a bit when it comes to fault finding and i have to think on the spot now how does the circuit in this piece of equipment work......
After the first week you will find (or i did last time) that i didnt need as much sleep as i used to .....i could be up all day doing a stressful job and then come home and still be active.
It does get easier honestly. If you find your mind wandering.....a cup of black tea or coffee, water or one of your packs will help.

i work 24 hour shifts too....how do you find eating???have found it a real struggle especially on first night shift. as im up at 8-9 in morning but dont get back to bed til 8 the following morning. i had a meal the other night just a bit of chicken and courgette but im not sure i always want to rely on food to see me thru. i tried to space out shakes as much as i could but found i was starving at 3 in the morning but didnt want to have another shake or i would have had to have 4 that day....which isnt a problem coz of my height but i havent got enough to do that!!!
