any tips? I am not stubborn and will follow them to the T. I'm gonna be doing this shift for a few months, so i don't want to just survive, i want to thrive in the night shift.

I hear a handful of people are naturally awake at night and sleep all day just out of biological urges, i wonder if i am one of those people because i can't get to sleep until 4am on my regular shift anyway.

Thanks.

I've worked night shift the majority of my life...make friends with coffee like a motherfucker. Get used to shopping at 24 hour Wal-Marts and grocery stores for your groceries, etc. 24 hr Corner stores are great for your days off as well. Get used to people looking at you like an alkie if you like to buy beer after work. Make sure you have a bedroom that is 100% dark, or you're going to have problems like a mutha. Work out at least 4 days a week or you'll start becoming susceptible to getting sick when your sleep patterns get naturally disrupted, that shit fucks with your immune system, I discovered. Make sure you buy a lot of movies/games/whatever to occupy your days off because the whole world will be dead when you're wide awake.
