Narrative:

I had flown all night, landing sep/thurs/04, around XA00. I drove home, tried to nap, then went to bed that night later than I wanted due to teenagers coming and going. It is becoming more and more difficult for me to sleep through the night, especially after flying all night the night before. I woke up a minimum of 4 times throughout the night, laying awake for over 1 hour twice. At XA15, one of my children got up to get ready for school. Since I hadn't been home in 4 days, I got up to spend time with her and help get her to school on time. My son also needed a ride that morning so I gave him a ride. When I got home I realized that I still needed sleep. I checked the company computer to see if there were any open trips, there were none, and was just headed to bed around XA00 to try to nap when my phone rang. It was the crew desk with an assignment. I told him to put me down as fatigued. I then went to bed and attempted to nap. I wrote an 'fsap' on aug/mon/04, after flying all night, having our ILS radio fail, and then flying a VOR approach into lax that we later realized was an expired approach. That error has really upset me. I feel that I have pushed hard to get through the summer schedule. I will not push myself anymore after making the approach chart error. I will not start an assignment fatigued.

Narrative: I HAD FLOWN ALL NIGHT, LNDG SEP/THURS/04, AROUND XA00. I DROVE HOME, TRIED TO NAP, THEN WENT TO BED THAT NIGHT LATER THAN I WANTED DUE TO TEENAGERS COMING AND GOING. IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT, ESPECIALLY AFTER FLYING ALL NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE. I WOKE UP A MINIMUM OF 4 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, LAYING AWAKE FOR OVER 1 HR TWICE. AT XA15, ONE OF MY CHILDREN GOT UP TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL. SINCE I HADN'T BEEN HOME IN 4 DAYS, I GOT UP TO SPEND TIME WITH HER AND HELP GET HER TO SCHOOL ON TIME. MY SON ALSO NEEDED A RIDE THAT MORNING SO I GAVE HIM A RIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME I REALIZED THAT I STILL NEEDED SLEEP. I CHKED THE COMPANY COMPUTER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OPEN TRIPS, THERE WERE NONE, AND WAS JUST HEADED TO BED AROUND XA00 TO TRY TO NAP WHEN MY PHONE RANG. IT WAS THE CREW DESK WITH AN ASSIGNMENT. I TOLD HIM TO PUT ME DOWN AS FATIGUED. I THEN WENT TO BED AND ATTEMPTED TO NAP. I WROTE AN 'FSAP' ON AUG/MON/04, AFTER FLYING ALL NIGHT, HAVING OUR ILS RADIO FAIL, AND THEN FLYING A VOR APCH INTO LAX THAT WE LATER REALIZED WAS AN EXPIRED APCH. THAT ERROR HAS REALLY UPSET ME. I FEEL THAT I HAVE PUSHED HARD TO GET THROUGH THE SUMMER SCHEDULE. I WILL NOT PUSH MYSELF ANYMORE AFTER MAKING THE APCH CHART ERROR. I WILL NOT START AN ASSIGNMENT FATIGUED.
