I’m interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I’ve always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I’m a little scared of the idea though! I’m worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs.
So, night shift workers of the world, what has your experience been like and how do you manage being present in your family life?
I did two, two week stents while living out of a hotel…I will never do it again if I have to do it out of a hotel. But 6pm to 2 am etc out of my own place I’d consider.
It’s just hard at first forcing yourself to sleep. Blackout curtains help. Or a sleep mask.
