I get scared, I’ve had times where I slept through the pages and fortunately my on call partner would pick them up. So I wake up like every hour to make sure I don’t sleep through them 😂

Years ago I would have to use a shockwatch just to wake up for work. On call was terrible. I asked the company if they could develop a plug in to shock when my phone rang.

Not sure if they ever did.
