Or just prefer to be awake at night instead of during the day? I do! Just wondered if anyone else is like that too?

My sister and I are "owls" like our dad. My brother is a "lark" like mom. Sadly, I have the wake up like a lark like mom too, but, according to my sister, I'm the only one that can "out wake" her at night. I hated my one night job tho, I'll stick to working days, thanks.

I used to work third shift when I was younger and I loved it. Now I work one job 9-5 and another from 7:30-midnight. It's wearing on me, trying to juggle the work schedule and keep up with the kids. I'd love to quit the 9-5, but we just can't afford to.

Fortunately I don't have to work at night. I don't like work at night because I want to have a normal working time so that I can keep in touch with others. Also I can spend more time with my family.

I would rather work nights. At the moment I work different hours. Some days I go in at 11am and 3pm. then I have my weekend where I live at my job, which is 3pm on Fridat to 6pm on Sunday. I love these hours, as I am rather a night owl.

Hi gwendovere! I prefer being awake and working during the day. I just love the light and the sunshine. However, my husband prefers working at nights. He says his mind is more active during the evenings and his creative side is eally bursting with ideas and new concept designs. So, he usually sleeps at around 5 in the morning and wakes up at 12 noon. Take care and have a nice day.

Hi gwen, My work schedule calls for me to work two night shifts a week, two swing shifts, and one day shift. This makes for an interesting life style. I really enjoy staying up late. I like the solitude, and the tranquility. I get to do my own thing when it is nice and quiet. I would prefer to be up all night and sleep all day, but that is not possible. I have tried to adjust to my work hours and my off hours and get to a happy meduim that is comfortable for me. I think that I have attained that satisfaction at this point. Happy posting..

There are times that I want to finish my work so I opt to stay late at night. I'm doing some laboratory works sometimes I want to do it at night.
