I was wondering if anyone here were in the retail or office industry who has had to work 6-7 days in a row 8-9 per day....its exhausting! today is my first day off and i feel like i just wanna sleep all day. After the 4th day i was feeling tired extra that i normally do, and i have pvc's >.> I was wondering if anyone else out there has to work that many days and are just exhausted from doing so.

Yugokid,

funny that you bring this up. I worked last week (I work nights)three 12 hour shifts in a row, on the second day when I came home my baby daughter woke up aound 8 O'clock in the morning. My wife was working so there was no way I could get any sleep. She finally laid down for a nap around 1:30 PM and woke up again at 3:00, so I got exactly 1 and a half hours of sleep during a 48 hour period. That night at work I was exhausted, we were very busy and around 5:00 that morning I finally got some time to sit down. When I did sit down I started getting the PVC's and they've stayed with me since. I've had these for about 7 years now and have been checked out by several Doc's and Cardio's. I thought I had them under control until that morning. So yes, to answer your question, exhaustion certainly does bring them on.
