im currently working a 11pm-7am shift fulltime and have been for a minute. but now its really starting to get to me. i cant sleep for shit during the day and if i do, it sucks to know that youve just slept the whole day away and when you wake, the day is over and youre back to work. not just that, on my days off which is weekends, i get out and try to live a normal schedule and a good nights rest but when its time to get back to work, i gotta switch it all up again. this lifestyle is getting depressing. is there a way to make the graveyard shift schedule work where i can get out and get a good rest?

all i hear is complain complain complain. i work the same time frame but my days off are monday and tuesday

dont load up on caffeine or sugar late into your shift, like beyond 5am. go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. go to sleep at 8am -9am and sleep until 2:30 - 6pm. or go to sleep whenever you want but make sure to keep the exact same sleeping pattern. use this if you cant figure out when to fall asleep / wake up, http://sleepyti.me/

buy yourself a tempurpedic mattress topper and some luxury sheets and some luxury pillows and try and keep the room you sleep in nice and cool, and as dark as possible.

and on your days off what you do is stay awake from when you get off in the morning, maybe take a small nap in the day, then stay up all day and night and go out. try and get as much sunlight as you can whenever you can because the shit will really effect you if you havent gotten enough.

I work 3rd shift and I can't fuckin stand it. I can't sleep in more than like 4 hour increments. Then ill get really tired at like 9:30 when I gotta start gettin ready for work. I got temporary transferred out of my dept 3 weeks ago and I rotate 1st and 2nd shift and I sleep 8 or 9 hours strait and I feel awesome. I had to take a $4/hr paycut and I don't even care cuz these shifts rule. 3-11 is awesome, that's what I'm on this week. I'm getting high and playing the show. Hope I don't get drug tested anytime soon Haha

No thanks, luckily i work during the day after i'm through with a few classes. I need that time of the day to go to the beach, or play sports while it's still sunlight.

GoodLuck Night Owl, make an attempt to work during the day that midnight task will eventually take a huge toll on your body and mind within time

I work as a housekeeper at a hospital from 11:30 to 8 am and its koo. Im only part time and graveyard shift is the only shift available for us part timers unless someone calls in sick and then i can work pm shift which is 4pm to 12:30am. I dont really have advise but get as much sleep once ur off. when i get home i take a hot shower and watcha lil tv then pass out, i wake up bout 3 or so maybe sometimes less. Before i go back to work i try to nap it. i sometimes buy or make coffee or drink a monster but im trying not to rely on them. i dont have a steady schedule so it varies plus i have a wife and kid that needs my attention and its hard to be a part of their lives when im asleep. Shit sucks too cus i have to take my son to appointments and im sometimes up for a few hours after im off. my son kinda understands but still wants me to wake up, i feel bad cus i can take him to tha park or some. My work can probably schedule me to work pm shift but their dicks. The pay is good tho but i say no when working double shift, my health is more important than money.
