I worked for UPS for 7 years.  3am-8am m-f.  I loved it.  No traffic at all to and from work.  I loved going to bed at 10 am and waking up at 6 in the evening.  Easy living.




I unloaded the trucks at their competition that was no fun. It's got to be easier at the post office. I hate unloading trucks too.
I got used to the night shift. I have a problem getting to work at 8AM, that makes me tired. I have a blanket over the window at home like dracula.

Yeah night shift jobs suck. I had the worst time trying to sleep during the day and then my patterns would get all out of wack. I lost touch with many friends because nobody normal is awake 12am to 8am lol. If its one thing that I learned with night shift, it's to never get a night shift job again. :hehehe:

Yup, worked 11-7 two or three nights a week at a gas station for a couple years. I fucking hated it, especially because my job would give me a couple night shifts and then a 7am-3pm shift two days later and I'd have to adjust my sleep schedule overnight, and work in going class around that chaos.

I worked at a hotel job that had rotating shifts. It was really easy work but there was nothing to do 75% of the shift. I ended up watching all our movies for rent that sounded decent and even brought my sewing machine once and finished my kid sisters halloween costume. It was just sooooooo boring. I ended up quitting after I got a new job. But now that I'm in school I wish I had that job to do all my schoolwork.




I wish i had your job in college. My dad cut me off finacially while i was in college, so i took a night shift job to work and go to school during the week. Bad idea.

I would go to work 10pm, leave at 6am and have class at 9am. Horrible. I couldnt do it. I had to drop out of college cause it was too much. No sleep sucks.


As for tonight at work, its much better. I guess forcing to sleep during the day from pure exhaustion from the night work before  really resets the mind for night shift.

Then again, its noto even midnight yet. Dun dun DUN....

I work all 3 shifts any given week,  next week is always a different shift. For nights I would highly recommend getting a cardboard box or something similar to put over your window also wear earplugs

I've worked nights for the past 3 years and I have to say I actually really enjoy the peace and quiet. I just stay awake with some caffeine and keeping myself active(for the most part).

I worked straight nights for 2 years and now I do shift work.

You get used to the nights. Sort of. All I can suggest is to sleep regularly, stay hydrated(drink water and high vitamin C juice), eat well, and gets some caffiene and thc in your system(if you can).

And be social. The best thing to keep you awake is the friends you make.

Pizza delivery, get off around 4 on fridays and saturdays. OP, That's fucked up that they switch the night/day shifts every month. Just as you get used to it you have to completely flip your sleep schedule?

And that first week of days after a month of nights would suck too. Their productivity must be absolutely terrible for the first week of every month. What a stupid way to run a business. They should just have full time night employees and pay them a little bit more than the day shift. Everyone is happy, everyone is more productive.

My buddy worked at a manufacturing plant here in town and they did the same thing. He worked 12 hours a day (including 2 hours of unpaid breaks which is bullshit) 4 days a week and would alternate day and night shifts every few weeks so either 7a - 7p or 7p - 7a

You mean he wasn't allowed to take his 2 hours of breaks and was just expected to keep working? Yeah that would be bullshit (actually, that would be illegal). If they were forced to take unpaid breaks, not so much. In a lot of places they're actually legally required to give you breaks, depending on how many hours you work.

If the former is true, I'd mention to your buddy that he may be able to sue the company for all that off the clock work. Can go through DoL or a lawyer who specializes in those kinda things.

i do it the ghetto waay and lay a black t-shirt over my eyes. Works pretty good.

Sometimes i wear sunglasses then put the t shirt over. Works ever  better since u have to  leave  the bottom of the shirt, near your nose open for air.

But blackout curtains, like hotel ones, are the best.

I've worked night shift for quite a few years in the past. It's not so bad, but it is very socially limiting. I find I ended up pretty much only socializing with the people I worked with.

The switching between day and night shift seems like it would be a lot harder than just working night shift because your mind could never really adjust.

I like driving forklift too.
