I Have a Messed Up Sleep Schedule

One of the joys from working nights is the delight of a messed up sleep schedule. You either master it or finally snap and lose your mind 😁

Second shift was fine for me. Third was an absolute failure. I worked it for nearly two years and even with shades on the windows and white noise in the background I was fucked.

@Silentpleasure I was always fine at work. I would be falling asleep on the ride home. Once home I would go to bed and maybe sleep for 1/2 hour and be wide awake until lunch time then falling asleep eating lunch then go to bed and barely get up in time to go to work. Absolutely failed. I was always a morning person. Even now, up at 4AM and then to bed usually by 9PM....I made it, just would never want to go back to third shift.

True that... Luckily my latest afternoon shift finishes at 10pm so it's not too bad...6am finish is just plain evil lol

@ozgirl512 I do 12 hours 7p-7a....4am for me is the hardest part of that shift and usually when I am dragging lol.
