NTers that Work the Graveyard Shift

[paul is on tilt]

Anybody here work the graveyard shift? I've been working graveyard for the past week and my body's feeling the toll. How do you guys get used to it?How's your sleep cycle like?

good luck. i use to work all shifts and everytime i get use to one shift my job would change my hours.

Yeah, I'm expected to work a few "AM shifts" also. Like my schedule will look like 9:30am-6:00pm one day then 10:30pm - 7:00am the next.

I almost forgot about the night time differential in pay. It makes going to work a little more easier.

Sleep all weekend.

I just started working overnight last week, too. My sleeping pattern is irregular to begin with so it's not that bad for me.

I just hate sleeping all day when it's nice outside...

It's going to be a little easier for you since it's going to be winter time soon and the sun will be in hibernation.

Worked about two and a half years of third shift in my life. I just basically slept on the job so my cycle was fine. Maybe took a nap in the morning when Igot home, but usual business for me

Where do you guys work? I need to pick up a 2nd job working 2nd or 3rd shifts.

I been doing it since '05. I'm in love with it! It keeps my days free so I don't have to call off (for court, doctor's appointments, etc.) andallows me to do OT and get off on Sat. morning as opposed to working on Sat. like 1st and 2nd shift. I work 6pm-6am.

Yeah, nothing actually happens between 6:00am-2:00pm

. I just feel that my sleep schedule is suffering. Getting used to the schedule sucks. Itprobably will just take some time.

Yeah, I can't sleep on the job, though.
