Night shift was between 5 and 8 nights long and we slept at 9,200 feet. We sat at a desk staring at four large computer monitors and a large cathode ray tube television. I would also use my Wi-Fi laptop computer.

A good day of sleep between shifts was rare and starting the next shift fatigued was normal."
