It’s currently 0526hrs and I feel like suicide is a viable option.....

Is there REALLY anything so important that it couldn’t be done during the working day ?!

Yes. Caring for vulnrable people who are unaware the difference between day and night.

Fair enough, looks like I need to get into that line of work for a bit of purpose to see me through!

But i agree nightshift is not an easy shift and tougher during the winter months.

I couldnt get used to nightshift, my body just couldnt understand that I was awake when others were sleeping and I had to sleep when others were awake. I'd go a full week with 2-3 hours a day sleep, honestly thought about driving straight off the motorway on the way to work. In my job you have to concentrate a lot and I was always just so tired, my co workers that done constant nights couldnt understand why I was so depressed.

Worked shifts for longer than I care to remember and whilst nights are brutal you adapt to them and as long as you get in to a routine when on them you’ll survive. Unfortunately we live in a 24/7 next day society so unfortunately night shifts are probably more important than day shifts.

Once you get used to it, you can start to enjoy driving on empty roads and never having to queue with your groceries. Tough to go back from that I think. There are some other advantages too.

Shifts do have their pros and cons. It is handy been off through the week, appointments are easy to attend, things are quieter in general. I will be cursing nightshift of course all weekend when I'm on shift. Its just a case of getting used to shifts and getting best roster you can with a decent work/life balance.

Used to do oncall , worked an 8 hour day then might have to work on for up to another 8hrs. Or have a break after dayshift and be called out at 02:00 and work right through till 17:00 (max 16hr limit) it took some getting used to every 6th week.

Took me 6yrs to fully adapt to nights. At first i was like a zombie as my kids were young and i got little sleep. Once i fell asleep at traffic lights which was not good.

Even the word "nighshift" puts the fear into me. Thankfully I dont need to do it anymore.

Not good falling asleep at traffic lights, I know exactly what u mean , if I was sitting down and in a dull blown conversation with someone and the next minute I'd wake up. I'd fallen asleep mid sentence. The body does strange things when its tired .
