Dear Annie: My new job is keeping me up nights and I’m exhausted
After landing a dream job with strong pay and a title that could advance their career, a reader says the busy season’s long hours and nonstop assignments have left them sleeping only three to four hours a night.
Dear Annie: I was really excited when I landed my dream job a few months ago. It has great pay and a title that can really take me places. But now, just a few months in, I’m pulling my hair out. We’re in our “busy season,” which means lots of late nights and working weekends. Every time I finish one assignment, two more pop up. My problem isn’t the hours — I know busy season will end — it’s that I cannot sleep. For the past week, I’ve been lucky to get three or four hours a night.
