but by those hours, i assume you work a 4-day work-week? that's not bad, and if it's 5 10 hour days then you're making the big bucks with all that ot...and i always thought working that 3rd shift beat all to hell working 2nd because there was no time for anything other than work and sleep on that shift.

Ugh, work sucks. What do you do for a job, Robert?

damn roberto! the longest i ever worked was from 7 am to 12 am, a 17 hour day. It was a big event in my town, and we had to set up tables and sell merchandise. But I only made $5/hour. Which sucks.

guh.. i feel your pain Rob..i was doing 8am-6am mon.-fri. then an extra 2 hours on saturday.. it was terrible.. i'd fall asleep for only a few minutes wake up fully refreshed and not be able to sleep again for a least a few hours...a few consistant months of 10 hours of sleep a week will put you right above braindead.
How people do it for years, i'll never know.

i used to work from 3 in the pm
till 2 am.i would get home at 2:15
and finally fall asleep by 4-5.then get up
at around 12 and wait to go back to work
for 11 hours i would stand in front of a machine
that made that ring for the top of a paint can
when the tray filled up i put em in a box.
thats all i did for all those hours.it was a mind fuck
one day at lunch which was at 8pm i just split.never came back
not even for my check.i feel ya patner.
if the moneys good though you will save a grip
cuz you wont have a chance to spend it

That is some rough hours
I have worked those hours a few times in my life
You just really need to make sure you get some sleep during the day. The hardest part is getting uninterrrupted sleep. Black out the windows, get a noise conditioner, do not disturb sign and try your best to set your sleep hours. Good luck

Ive only worked a few GY shifts to cover someone but i found that drinking a few enegry drinks like rockstar or wired worked better than coffee, its got some other stuff in it that I think helps
The things we do for earnin that paper, good luck man

Ya Robert it's hard to get used to working nights. I now work shift hrs. I get to work 4 nights--6pm to 6am, then I get 3 off, come back on 3 days, get 1 off, back for 3 nights, 3 off then back for 4 days. But then I get 1 week off. It was real hard at first. Having a week off every month is worth it plus all the overtime adds up nicely. It's not easy to sleep during the day. Like geonagual said, make sure to black out your windows and the do not distrub sign is a neccessity. Also I found it helpful to notify all friends and relatives of my hrs so they were not calling and waking me up all the time. You'll get used to it after awhile. Good luck with your job!!:) :dance: :stoned:

after a while you won't have a problem. When I started working overnight I hardly slept the first few days. You're body gets so tired from lack of sleep and smoking so many blunts that passing out at any given time is easy. Also my room is pitch black during the day if I want it to be, and that definitely helps.
It just takes a while for your body/mind to get used to it.

I think it depends on what you do.I work nights as a paramedic in the city and love it.would not work any other shift.Its a different world out there on nights.Studies show that we night shift workers have a shorter life span and that it is not natural for the human body to sleep during the day instead of night but iwe have to die of something.
