How did you make night shift work?

[UpAndComing]

Late 2nd shift is actually pretty nice


like a 4pm to 12am shift
or a 5pm to 1am shift

I just got used to it. Simple. People always say "idk how you do it" well, once your body gets used to it then its just easy to do obv. Honestly I dont really have a set life schedule anymore. Im just up at random times till whenever. My night job is 9pm-730am 4 days on, 3 days off.

I've done night shifts most of my life.

When i did 12 hour night shifts, with 12 hour shifts there isn't much you can do on work days except sleep and eat. You gotta figure you get 12 hours off to yourself so that's an hour to get ready for work, showered, shave, etc. and then time to drive to work, so that's almost 2 hours gone from your 12 depending on the drive. Then the drive back home/stop at a store, that's about another hour+ gone, so 3 hours gone from your 12, then another hour to wind down/eat/shower/etc. So now you at 4 hours gone and you have 8 hours free before work time.

IDK about you but i need at least 6-8 yo function. So that is almost all your time accounted for on 12 hour shift work days. With 12 hour shifts you really gotta get the most out of your off days that you can, that's really your only choice.

However on 8 hour night shifts its much easier, i used to do 11-7 shifts and i would just sleep soon as i got home about 8am. So i'd sleep from like 8-2 and then you got plenty of time to do whatever you need to do before work at 11. Those are the best overnight hours i find, either 10-6 or 11-7.

Aren’t you a dishwasher? How tf you work at night

You get used to it. It helps if you already have a history of being nocturnal/staying up at night.

I do nights at my current job, mostly 11pm-6am/6:30 am or in rare cases, 11pm-7am.
It's not something I'd want to do long-term so this is just temporary until I start training for bus driving and even with that, I would only do overnight shift once in a while.

It depends on hard the job is, how many ppl in yo department, how far you live from the job, what your actual responsibilities are, etc.


Right now, I spend sleeping or lying down in between shifts, on off days I try to stay awake at night and sleep during the day. It used to be a problem with my family but I'm mich more independent now, they know that's the only way I'm making money.

Getting bishes is hard, cause any chick that's halfway decent looking works 9 to 5 during the day.

20 to 25 years ago, strip clubs used to be open during the day, noon or earlier, now they all night clubs, with supervisors and snitches watching they every move


There is more I can say but these tactics I plan on using myself, can't give the game for free.

I work a 12 hour shifts at a biotech company 6-6:30 AM 4 days on 3 off, then 3 days on 4 off. Those 4 day weeks are hard I'm worn out by the end of my work week. Add in the fact my commute is 160 miles round trip, so its really a 14-15 hour day. i work nights because trying to drive through the Altamont Pass during rush hour traffic ( which I used to do with an 8 hour shift), I'd be miserable. The worst part is only seeing my kids for like 15 minutes before I leave for work.

Night shift was goat for the extra pay, and scrolling sites, listening to podcasts, napping. But my day was fkd up

That shyt is for savages.... I did night shift in my early 20s from 11-7a thinking that shyt was sweet.... Was at a call center so I figured it would be cake but it was worst decision I coulda made at the time, ended up quitting after like 6 months

Shyt is like fighting nature.... Your body naturally supposed to sleep with the moon n rise with the sun. No one can convince me otherwise.
