From April to October my time is not mine, and that is the job

I work in a hotel. Between April and October I do six days a week and the seventh is spent asleep. I am not exaggerating for effect and I am not looking for sympathy, because I chose this and I earn a year of living in seven months of work, which is a fair trade.
Forty one, Madrid, submissive, six years in this. Everything I have tried has started in the winter and ended in the spring, and I have concluded that the problem is not the people. It is that I keep pretending, in March, that this year will be different.
So this is a post looking for a winter dynamic, said honestly. From November to March I am available, present, energetic and good company. From April I am a person who sends a message at midnight saying I am too tired to be interesting.
If you have an arrangement that works for you in the summer and a gap in the winter, that is not a problem for me, and I would rather know that from the beginning than find out in month four.
What I want inside it is structure and correction and being useful. I am extremely good at doing what I am told, which is presumably why I have lasted six seasons in a job like mine. Not looking for anybody who will spend the summer telling me I should find different work. Two people have. They were not wrong and it was still the end of the conversation.
