12 hour shifts tired, no time! Advice in Misadventures of West Virginia Woman

I been working 12 hour shifts for almost 2 weeks without a day off. I am getting tired and defeated. By the time I come home I just want to sleep. I need to clean the house do chores. How do people work extended shifts without exhaustion kicking in? I take caffiene pills stay awake during day sleeping pills during the night. I don’t know how people do it but I need to know I have another six days of 12 hour shifts and an 8 hour shift till my days off.

My friends complain I have no time for them. My mom isn’t happy talking to me till late at night wanting to know if I will ever have time for her. Talan tries get me to bed as soon as possible but it takes a while to calm down.

How do people work extended shifts find times with rest and time for friends and family. I know ambulance drivers and doctors work even more hours. I just have no idea how to find a balance. I fear one day I will call asleep and wreck my car!
