Going on week two of random mid-sleep wakeups wherein I am convinced I have badly overslept and missed my entire shift.

What even is causing this? (Don't say stress, I'm sure it's stress! But what is causing the stress!? Is it lack of sleep? Because the lack of sleep sure ain't helping, gotta say.)

Has daylight saving started/stopped recently where you are?

I can imagine daylight saving = your sense of what time it is, based on the sun coming through the curtains when you wake up, is out of sync with the clock time

It can just be the stress of taking care of people.

It’s not really that stressful…? It’s more just hanging out and occasionally helping someone with their laundry.

Fear of not being prepared or late.

Does the workplace penalize you for being late for your shift or not clocking in on time? Because I have had the same problem - and it was due to that. As a result I get up earlier and leave earlier - to ensure I'm never late. I also set three alarms - two on the phone and one on the alarm clock, in case I inadvertently forget or one doesn't go off (which has happened more than once.)

No, people are often remarkably late.

The stress of dealing with 1 or 2 particular coworkers? I had that at one job, I was getting VERY bad sleep as a result of that stress.
