Any other Overnight workers in here?

[j.smooth4]

A lot of cats either moonlight with a overnight job or have a FT day job and a moonlighting night job

 

[Mr. Negative]

nah, the worst is having only one day off.

you get off on that day, go to sleep, wake up and the day is over with.

 

[PhonZhi]

Its depressing. Never again.

 

[MikelArteta]

Wow it's that bad?

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

I loved it. I worked 11-6am. For years.

I would meet chicks during the day, and tell them to come by the crib at noon.

Never had to worry about appointments.

I missed a LOT of events though.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

12 hour shifts 7 days on 7 days off. Hospital gets crazy so the night goes by quickly. Just got off and damn I'm tired

 

[MaddLionKing]

I respect the honesty in here... Bout to start my tenure on overnights. Taking notes

 

[Insun Park]

Wow it's that bad?

I've had suicidal thoughts during shifts. It has completely taken over my life

Of course, not everyone is that effected by it. Some people are nocturnal and built for overnight shifts. A lot of people aren't built for it

 

[GunRanger]

i work 6pm-1:10am, and i live far from work so I have to leave like 3:30. (I like getting there around 5 or so.) I get home around 3 am.


It sucks, but I'm kind of used to it. Just have to focus on getting up in the morning to not waste a day, even though there is nothing to do during the day. Working nights, you miss EVERYTHING. From social events to sports, forget about it. Add to that, it's a physical job, and you're exhausted.

 

[Data-Hawk]

Did
10pm to 6am
11pm to 7am

Different jobs and never again. It will kill your social life, even on the weekends. I would go out to the movies with friends and always fall sleep or just always tired.


My schedule now is 6:30am to 3pm, I know some people have problems with that, but I love it. Get off early.

 

[Mr.Plan B]

Hard to find full-time dayshift job while going to school. So nightshift it is.

 

[Interloper]

11PM to 7AM currently and I enjoy it better then working in the daytime/afternoon. Its definitely not for everybody as it seems half the people working the shift look like zombies and sleep during break a lot. It's easy to see why quite a few people gain weight and get into bad habits working 3rd shift as well. I do get weekends off, but as people have stated, you'll miss a lot of events and trying to keep up with your sports teams is a chore(if you care about those sort of things). I still manage to hit the gym up 6-7 days a week and find enough free time to do other stuff, but yeah, its definitely not the life for most people.

 

[calixprynce]

5:30 - 2

[MenacingMonk]

I got off at 130 am today. Haven't slept. Go back in at 5 pm. Then Monday I go back to 6 am. shytty schedule.

 

[Nomad1]

I used to do 10pm-6am overnight and that shyt fukked me up. Never again.
