The worst 'sleep' I've ever had in my career was right after our twins were born. I was a 727 F/O on reserve at the time (1989).

After a few sleepless nights, I called crew scheds and BEGGED them to send me ANYWHERE!

"I'll fly any trip, anywhere, just get me OUT OF HERE so I can get some SLEEP!!"

They had a good laugh over that, and sent me on a trip with long layovers.

Now, when ever I have trouble getting to sleep, I just think back to all those sleepless nights and pretend there's a crying baby in the next room who needs a diaper change and a bottle...

that will usually put me right to sleep!

Maybe Doctor Tilton will mandate that all airline pilots should be castrated as soon as they are hired? I'm pretty sure the pilots with young kids are getting a lot less sleep than the guys with OSA...
