One of the things that happens to a sailor at sea is

that his sleep schedule changes. This holds especially true when one is working the 12 to 6 watch.

Deep sea is somewhat different, they work a 4 on, 8 off watch system. Coastwise tug and barge is different in that they run a 6 on, 6 off watch system.

Still, it is hard on one's system and takes some serious getting used to.

You might think of that before you decide to make a career at sea.
