  1. Once during a wild goose chase in a VERY rural part of my county, heard the "Deliverance" theme over the fire channel, then heard sheeps "baaing" on the EMS channel. Needless to say, supervisors were very unhappy.
  2. At my full-time job (Murray County EMS, OK) we are allowed to sleep whenever we want as long as our station duties are done and the truck is stocked and clean. At my part-time job (Southern Oklahoma Ambulance Service) we are allowed to lay down after 5pm. Sounds pretty harsh to have to stay up all day if you work all night. You may check the labor laws in your state. Some states don't allow an employer to require employees to be awake all day if you do not have a "reasonable opportunity" to sleep at least 8 hours during the 24. As for me, when I am up for 48 or 72 hours straight just sleep an entire day when I am off work.
