Derealization

I'm a nurse working 3 12's a week. I've been rocking out on night shifts for a year now. More recently, it feels like time is blending together in a weird soup.

Events that occurred yesterday or even just an hour ago seem to be years away. It feels like life is just a lucid dream.

I understand this likely has to do with sleep deprivation and I'm doing exactly opposite of what is recommended, which is flipping to a "normal" schedule on my days off.

I can't bring myself to stick with a night shift schedule and sacrifice both my social life and outdoor hobbies. At the same time, I have a feeling if I continue like this, it will only get worse.

Anyone else have experience with this? I guess just looking to see if any can relate.

Edit: Thank you all for your feedback and experience. It definitely gave me some things to think over and consider. First and foremost though, I need to prioritize my sleep a little more lol.
