Yeah my manager is sympathetic to it because they also have to do on call on the roster. So they know the pain of getting up at those hours of the morning. I think based on the information in this thread I have a good strategy for this.

1 carpark, carpool with partner at a set starting time or else pay thousands of dollars for parking per year. It’s not really worth it end of the day.

This is how we do it here as well but I find the lack of sleep even if I went home an hour or two earlier impacts the entirety of the workday.

Mmm I guess it’s a give and take scenario with the lifespan analogy. I think I feel more useless to the business as I sit there feeling ever so much more tired throughout the workday and the struggle to focus increases throughout the day. Thanks for the input!

This is an interesting way of doing it. The added bonus would be nil traffic on the way into work and an early (but on time) finish. Thanks for this perspective.
