mitoldies: speaking of crashes

[Guest guest]

I have been sleeping the better part of a week nad a half and my employer

isnt so happy...

what do you do with your employers during these crashes?

I have called in sick for a week and a half now.

I can only stay awake for about one to two hours at a stretch.

Thx

My suggestion would be to sit down with the human resources person or

employer and write up an ADA accomodation statement. They may not be

willing to pay you for all the time, but it is important that they

understand that you do have a disability that requires this and

assurance that your job is still there when you return, without

detrimental remarks.

You get your FMLA forms in so your employer can't hold

it against you.

I usually try to figure out why I am crashing - it turned out that

driving (at all) was making me crash. My husband started driving me

to work. Also less than 8 hours of sleep was a problem. Finally, my

diet affected things a lot. I would find myself falling asleep at

work, but the worst was after lunch, I think I zonked for about 2

hours after lunch every day. I can't have carbs with lunch.

I've done mostly deskwork, and sometimes in isolated locations, so a

nap didn't seem too obvious to my boss. I've also taken family leave

in incremental amounts, as little as a day at a time.

Take care,
