My sleep schedule is pretty messed up.

I pretty much get about 2-4 hours of sleep each day and at some point it catches up with me and I crash for longer periods of sleep; repeat. So much so that I gave up trying many years ago. For a period of time, I would finish up work (desk job) and then head over to a local bar which I used to work (I know the owner). I'd serve drinks as a 2nd bartender and help close the bar at around 2am in the morning and be home by 3 or 4am. Hit the sack and wake about 8am to head into my actual job.

I actually felt like I slept harder during that short sleep schedule after being on my feet, slinging drinks, and entertaining patrons for 4+ hours....


Thinking back it started when i worked a 3 day 12 hour night shift more than 10 years ago.... My day started at 11pm and I'd finish up by 12 noon. Bed by 1pm in the afternoon. Repeat. Then switch to day time living to be with family and friends for the remaining days of the week. Constant jet lag feeling. Did that for 2 years.

Off topic, but the size of the dog is (with some exceptions) irrelevant to the size of your living space - it's more about their energy, vocalization, behavior, and exercise needs. For example, you'd be MUCH better off with a 4 year-old Great Dane than a Jack Russell or Beagle puppy in an apartment.

I agree with this! Great danes are as quiet as they are big!

Quiet, but savage and vicious.

No, they are not.

So, are Great Danes aggressive? No, Great Danes are not typically aggressive dogs. In fact, the American Kennel Club (AKC) describes the Great Dane temperament as friendly, patient, and dependable.

While a Great Dane could still become aggressive if it isn’t given proper treatment and training when it’s young, we can say fairly confidently that the breed is not predisposed to aggression. Everything from this dog’s breeding to its inherited health issues to the data surrounding dog bites indicates it’s a gentle and reliable family pet.

Sometimes I get up twice to pee, or I wake up early with back pain. Yesterday I was sleepy all day. The usual middle age stuff.

Yes. They are not treacherous or hostile or "savage and vicious" dogs at all. They are just very large.
