I think I'm starting to hate night shift

I work nights at a nursing home/rehab facility 11P-7A and twice a week at my friend's university tutoring people in the evening. I'm happy to be working and earning a living but god damn the hours are starting to kill me.

Sometimes I sleep 9-12 hours if it's not the day I have to go to the tutoring gig so I wake up with just enough time to get ready for work. As soon as I get home around 8AMish I try to get some sleep but that hasn't been happening lately.

I keep telling my friends that I work nights so try not to call or text me during the day. They just conveniently happen to forget this at the worst times. I have to keep my phone on me because of my job is and the administration does expect me to pick up the phone when they call.

I just want to just shut off my damn phone, get some sleep, and eventually get a better job. Rotating weekends is not fun especially when 12 hour shifts are banned.
 


Man I feel ya, I actually just quit my pressman job due to the hours 330pm to when ever I get done, usually 2-3 am. Hours killed me and now im looking for better hours
 
Yup I know all about night shift, I do it 5 days a week, while going to school full time. Sometimes I can sleep and sometimes I can't, I've been doing it two years now. So I know exactly how you feel. Today was my day off and no classes so I slept all day, I only just woke up
 
did it for 2 years 7pm-7am security guard gig. 4 days on 4 days off. was good for awhile but the lack of sleep caught up with me.

lovin the 730-430 i'm doing now :D
 


My boyfriend works 2 weeks days then switches to 2 weeks of nights. 7-7. Does a 2-2-3 rotation. I don't like it and I'm not even the one working it.
 
As it was mentioned before, do the custom ringtones, I usually turn off my cell and I have my land line but only my family have the number.

I work 11:30pm-8:00am and I love the hrs.
The big bosses aren't around and I take my time to complete my job.

I love the wierd looks people give me when I'm buying beer at 8am lol
 
I work 1st and 3rd shift rotation. 1 day a week is 3rd shift (8-4:30) 1 day a week off, and the rest 1st shift. (5a.m to 5 pm.) Try waking up for work at 4 a.m and tell me about not getting any sleep.

This is why I call very few people, ever. I'd rather text. My text tone doesn't wake me up, then again neither do my 8 alarm clocks...
