An interesting video that the European pilot associations have put on:

My body got used to the 70-80 duty hour week last summer.

However what is the real kicker is the swing in my circadian rhythm.

During one week I do out-n-backs: early AM departures, then late evening returns.
I'm lucky if I get 3 hours of sleep a night to supplement my 3-4 hours I get at the hotel during the day.

Then I switch for the next few weeks of being on call. I'm not too far off from being a zombie.
