    ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? How is this possible. 3rd shift is the most exciting time of the day.

    I wouldn't reccomend sleeping on the job, they tend to frown on that.

    I work overnights. I hate it. I have done it for 3 months. Its hard to schedule meals, work out, everything. I am on such an odd schedule I wake up at noon and people are like "you sleep all the time!" No, 8am to noon is only 4 hours you wankers!

    Anyway /endrant! I get bored and come here, I did post in the official night shift thread but sometimes it doesn't have anyone posting. I am hoping in 3 weeks to be on days! Back to a normal schedule and with a almost four month old who is awake all day and asleep all night it will be epic. I will sleep again!

    We go through a shift bidding process every 6 months. It's all done by seniority. I've got 5 years in, a prime set of choices and I CHOSE to come back to the graveyard. I sleep from 8-3...not too bad. I'm getting used to the eating schedule again. But, somedays I still wonder what the hell is wrong with me.

    I like my nights home with the family, sleeping at night is also enjoyable. I guess I am just built that way.

    true, I'm on night shift too and it really sucks. Metabolism changes, so it's hard to watch out the diet.

    I usually watch movies on amazon :D but I have to agree with nicole on the whole metabolism effect :( maybe its just me I don't have anything to back it up but I feel it...

    When I have a few days off I can tell the difference in my body. It changes my whole physical being, after doing an overnight I have no energy, even if I sleep, its weird.

    You couldn't pay enough to work dayshift. I've always been a night owl, though.

    I've been working overnights for 10 years. I've always been a nightowl, I'm used to it.

    I use to be a night owl as a teen/young adult. I don't enjoy it anymore, I would rather be home with my daughter and my SO.

    I work 12 hour night shifts. I've worked nights for about 13 years. I sleep 11a to 3 or 4p. I too hear "you sleep all the time" but no. I don't! LOL
    I love nights and will never work days!
