Hey all. Hope everyone is doing well (and happy Friday the 13th). I am still working on transitioning into working this night shift (830pm to 430am) and so far it seems to be going well.
I have been showering and crashing immediately after getting home around 500. And then I have been waking up around 230. I havent really been able to sleep super well yet but I kind of like the time I have to get things done before having to go into work. Business levels and types of business are entirely different too, which is a whole different thing to get used to. I cant seemyself working this shift forever.
Anyone else switching schedules. Or feeling my third shift pain?

I hope you get a better shift soon, night shift can be gruelsome.
I work with USA team a lot, so I kinda work an evening shift, to link with them. but it means I get an entire morning to myself and do whatever

I have never done a night shift but always thought it is a good way to have more time. I hope you are not too exhausted at the end.

That is very true. That is why I enjoy my days off which land during the week. I never ever want to go grocery shopping on Sunday mornings or afternoons. But I do miss going out with friends on Friday nights. I guess there is a trade off.

My husband worked a 7 PM to 7 AM shift for about a year when the children were small. He only worked a four day week and then had three days off. There were good things and bad things about this schedule. Finally he went back to a day job.....nine months later...
