Does anyone work nights or have done?

[xxMATTGxx]

Has anyone ever worked nights? If so, what's it like and did you get used to working throughout the night and sleeping through the day etc?

Any issues you had by doing that and anything else you think I should I know.

You get used to it providing you can get adjusted to the shift pattern. If you constantly end up swapping between doing nights and not doing them, then you're in for a real treat -.-

Would also recommend on your day off before your first day of work you force yourself to sleep at the time you would if it had been a work day. Just helps with the adjustment a bit.

if you can sleep freely during the day without disturbance or commitments that require your presence then it's probably worth doing nights, i hear the pay is better?
will be tired as hell while you get used to the shifts and will probably always be adjusting your sleeping pattern for days/weekends off

know people who used to do nights and they hated it though because it gets lonely apparently

By the sounds of it will be rotated so not everyone is doing nights all the time and also not covering the weekends. I personally think I'll have problems trying to sleep during the day which isn't going to help at all. Yeah they did say there would be a pay wage increase for sure - Not sure how much yet though.

I worked nights couple of times and its the worst. because when you get home and sleep its day time so when you wake up its almost night again so you don't really have time to do much. It's also really lonely. The only issue I had was that I had to go out the next day so when i got home I slept for about 2 hours then i got up and ready and went out the door. boy was I ever tired

A mate of mine works nights. He tells me he doesn't sleep during the day because it just doesn't feel right and he can't - he will try catch a bit though, but with it being shift work where he will work day time too, it's difficult to adjust. He's already super skinny but he lost even more weight from it because his body just couldn't adjust and didn't know what he needed when etc
