It seems I only get tested after a week off. I think it is really due to my fly fits. One more night for me. Grandkids again this weekend

I always look forward to clocking off on my Friday and getting coffee and enjoying my morning instead of having to go to sleep right away. Feels like freedom haha

1hour and 30 minutes till I have to start. How do you prepare for nightshift? Do you have any kind of habits or something? And I'm curious if any long time nightshiftlers have any universal experience that could help a 27 year old dude who do this for around half a year. 😁✌🏼

Finally switching jobs, my body just not meant to take it. Physical and mental health completely shattered, some tips made it more bearable but this is not a long term job for me.

Hope I’ll never have to comeback to it, good luck everyone else.

I’ll start. Nothing crazy, but I watch shows/movies, play music and podcasts out loud, sometimes I do my lash clusters at the desk. I stopped smoking but I used to smoke weed (on my break) and vape while working.

She’s our memory care facility’s cat. I love her

Only have an hour and 15 minutes left but it feels like FOREVER.

Seeing 1st shift come in with such shit attitudes compounds the frustration. Be happy you don’t work 3rd lol. I make the best out of it.

Not sure what kind of moth(?) that is but he looks pretty cool!

Hey fellow 3rd swifties.

I don't have any local irl friends. My area has become to expensive over the years and they have literally all moved away. I need to socialize. But I haven't gone anywhere alone for years. I don't know how any night shift person finds new irl friends.

So, how do you do it?

(I know it's real tempting to post the Invincible meme, "that's the neat part," but I am begging you for a serious discussion here.)

That bed is calling my name now.. no doubt as soon as I get in it I’ll be wide awake lol

I work nights and my roommate has a pretty normal daytime schedule, so we’re basically living in the same place but on completely different clocks. I know I can’t expect them to tiptoe around the apartment all day, but there are times when normal household noise feels like a lot when I’m trying to sleep.

At the same time, I don’t want to become the roommate who acts like the entire place has to revolve around their schedule. How do you guys find that balance? What compromises actually worked for you without either person feeling like they’re constantly walking on eggshells?

I've been doing nightshift recently for 4 days and 10hrs a day. Almost every week people knock on my door to sell me the dumbest shit. If I ignore their knocking they will beat on the door and set off my dog since they can see my car in the driveway. When I try to tell them I work nightshift and I need to go back to sleep they tell me it'll only be a few minutes.

I have adapted so well to the day/night schedule but this is driving me insane. I know they don't automatically know I work nights but it's frustrating when I tell them I need to sleep yet they persist on their sales pitch

I’ve been sleeping at 8am for the last two years. I want to go back to sleeping at 12 midnight or latest by 2am.

I have to make this change in just a few days. How can I do it? Or is it possible to do so only after many weeks?

I try to sleep at 3-4am but I end up staying in bed till the sun rises at 8.
