He’s been at work since two in the morning, and he’s enjoying his first coffee break. He’ll stop for a café breakfast at seven, and by lunch time, he’ll have finished his work day. He works for a chain of supermarkets as a delivery driver. Nowadays he’s used to starting work in the middle of the night, but it wasn’t always that way. ‘I work five nights a week. But my weekend isn’t Saturday and Sunday like most people’s. I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off. ‘My alarm clock rings at 1.30 in the morning so I can start work at two o’clock. The thing was, when I first started this job, I would go out with my friends on Friday and Saturday nights. I shouldn’t have gone, but I couldn’t help it. I didn’t want to miss out. I was young and inexperienced, and we were having fun. ’Tom says he used to go to bed at midnight some nights and then wake up for work an hour and a half later. ‘Fortunately, I never had an accident. But if I’d continued going to work after so little sleep, I was bound to have problems eventually. I might have fallen asleep while I was driving and really hurt – or killed – somebody.’ What changed his mind? ‘I read a news story about a lorry driver falling asleep and causing a terrible accident on the motorway. From then on, I made sure I was in bed by 7.00 p.m. at the latest on a night before work. It was hard at first, but I’m used to it now, and I wouldn’t change it.’ 96. Tom ___________ awake at four thirty or five in the morning.
