Tips for night shift work?

[RJ Powell**]

I'll only be doing this for 3 or 4 months until my boss gets off his fat indian ass and hires more people.

Plus i'm 19 and have no morning responsibilities aside from jacking off.

Sleep,drugs,coffee,Ipod.It could be worse like me for instance,,I work a swing shift and change shifts every 5 days,I'm getting ready to leave for work "afternoons" right now..Good luck you will never get used to it + you miss all the good fights and ball games...

Won't all the good fights be at night time? i am working from 12am, sometimes coming late 2 hours to work at 2am, if my manager cuts me some slack.

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.

OK i got the full work schedule.

Tuesday-Friday Morning: 12am-8am

Saturday Morning:4am-12pm

Sunday off

Monday off

Think i can manage?

Here is more detail:
-My job consists of what i am doing right now, as well as watching certain database programs and entering "crucial" data occasionally. No physical activity whatsoever

-My training is from 6-8 in the evening last time i checked. Haven't been to the gym in a while since i'm still working evening shift.

-I have no real Morning responsibilities, no kids to take to school, i don't even like waking up in the morning. I would prefer to stay up till 4-5 am and sleep in, which is what i am doing these days working evenings..

I work nights now, I like it but I don't get to hang out with friends anymore. I watch a lot of movies and play a lot of playstation.
