    Sorry about your wrist! Yes I work 7p--7a. What are your times? I usually can sleep for 12 hrs straight on my days off. I have been doing nights since Feb and still have not really adjusted to it. 2nd on the list to get transfered to days! :) Our floor is always slow so even when I am working I am on here.

    Retail on Overnights, A lot of places lol. I work at walmart. We are open24-7 so we have cashiers, and we stock the shelves, clean, and all that fun stuff. I am on what is called a "mod team" We update the merchandise by taking out deleted items and replacing them with new items.

    I guess I'll be the first NON-medical blogger on here. lol. I work at Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort as a Night Auditor. My Resort is right in the middle of Walt Disney World in Orlando,Florida, so I can't complain about the location. I really like the large amount of responsibility that I have, being in charge of 1,149 rooms on a nightly basis. It's definitely been a process trying to not only eat right at these hours, AND get my workouts in, ON TOP of making sure I rest enough to recover my muscles. How do you make time for it all?

    Whether I am working or not, I always find myself staying up through the night. It prevents me from getting off my sleep schedule, and I can keep my energy up during my afternoon workouts. Luckily I bartend/serve part time in the afternoon at Bahama Breeze here in orlando. My bartending friends are always staying up with me so my days off are always an adventure to say the least. Two jobs are tough but, "Orlando is cool, but to LIVE orlando is EXPENSIVE." lol
