Sleep schedule

It seems like I'm the only one active at US nighttime hours. I assume everybody else has a dayshift sleep schedule. Lol anybody else on the forum on the graveyard shift?

 

I work midnights. I sleep from 830am til about 2pm most days.

 

I've been at this night shift on and off past few years, sucks

 

There's even a Graveyarders BS THREAD on here

 

Weekdays I go to bed anywhere between 9-11pm. Up at 4:30 every morning. Weekends I try to stay up as long as I can. I prefer to be a night owl. I lurk here on and off all day everyday lol.

 

This work half we were starting at 2am CT, next work half will be 12am CT

 

I used to work 1pm to 10pm officially, and 10pm to 7am on call. Most dudes at my old shop hated that schedule but in my 20s I was such an insomniac bar fly it worked out. I couldn't sleep anyway and while I was waiting between calls I just hung out at bars.

Now I have the boring day shift.

 

8pm-4:30am is my graveyard shift Wednesday- Sunday

 

I don't work. go to bed at 9p up at 3a or 4a Keeps out of trouble when i was on 1a to 10a schedule if you know what i mean! No more bars and drinking for me anymore. Hey nothing wrong with it just saying.

I'm on a 10 hour shift with a 1 hour drive one way.

 

7 days, 7 nights, 7 off, currently on night 4

 

Graveyard here 11pm to 7am pacific time

 

Yup. EMT. I'm up at about 4 PM....go to bed about 8 AM.

And yeah, I've also noticed this forum seems pretty dead at night.

I've just been out for the last three hours, from 1AM-4AM replacing the exhaust on my car, a 2000 Subaru outback.

And you know what? My truck is still a hell of a lot quieter. The subaru sounds like a sewing machine factory in comparison.

 

The hard part for me is switching from a days to graveyard shift...those first few days are the hardest imo

 

One of my previous jobs was a commercial service tech. Plumber LOL. We would do service during typical hours, but whenever we ran into something that had to be done in the night, they would send us home with just enough time off that they wouldn’t have to pay us overtime to come in and work all night. Whether it was a leak repair, sewer repair or jetting the drains of the grocery store I was working in. It killed me every time. There was no getting used to anything because it would happen every 2 to 3 days. Sometimes every day. They tried to church it up and tell me, “well you got the next day off!” . No I don’t I’m freaking dead tired and I have to come in the following morning at five. Only to have it happen all over again. Go work for five hours and then they send you home to come in again for another night job. Glad I’m out of there.

 

I always think about retirement but I know I’ve got so many years left to go. And I don’t want to be into much of a hurry.

 

7 on 7 off here, swap back and forth days to nights every other shift

 

I work on a ship doing the Midnight to Noon watch.

 

I'm a night shifter. I pop in time to time and check what's going on. I've been lurking here longer than I've been a member.

 

Midnight shift here. 12 midnight to 8am. 15 minute drive home. I stay up all day and go to sleep about 4pm till 10:30pm. I get lots of work done around the house!

 

Never wish for retirement ! Enjoy the moment.

 

For the last 25 years I have been working a 12 hour shift rotating between nights and days. 4:00-4:00.
