Narrative:

After working the flight inbound to ogg and sitting for 2 hours 28 mins with change in aircraft and working the all-nighter back; we were exhausted and delirious. Working a turn like that has a tremendous effect on the body. We all could hardly stay awake. I feel if there was an emergency we wouldn't be 100% effective. We kept checking on each other and moving around to keep each other awake. I personally almost got into an accident on the way home.
