I work nights, and though it isn't ideal, could I work the night shift before day of surgery (BA)?

Asked By:Chantilly in Atlanta in Beaufort, SC

I would still follow all routine stipulations, no eating/drinking after midnight etc. I would also inform anesthesia I hadn't slept. Are there any possible complications?
