The worst part of working night shifts and also having my days off through the week and not in the weekend, is that i feel socially isolated.

I loved it when you called home when normal people sleep and asked what’s for dinner! I went through the same shit working graveyard.

Worked 3rd shift for 8 years. The biggest thing I found was not varying my sleep schedule. I always slept 9am to 3pm. (Only ever needed 6hrs sleep regardless of shift) Most of the people that struggle with 3rd shift will sometimes sleep in the morning one day and in the afternoon the next and then in the middle the next day. I also blacked out my windows with thick paperboard. My room was as dark as midnight whenever the lights were off regardless of time of day. Find a system and stick with it. I still find 3rd shift was my favorite shift to work.

I got cheap blackout fabric from the local fabric store when I worked graves. Worked perfect! Also, no lights whatsoever, not even an alarm clock. I even moved my pc out of my bedroom. Eventually my bed was just an empty room with a bed so I had no distraction

That same eye mask is great but gets pushed around a bit by my nasal pillow. Good video, thanks!

I would never work a graveyard shift ever. The health risks from doing that kind of work are not something I'd be willing to accept. I respect everyone who works the graveyard especially the nurses, doctors, techs, etc.

It's why I work 6 days on and 8 off. 12 hour shifts

I'm working nightshift 9pm to 6am. Virtual Assistant but Onsite so I have to go to our office.

I’m starting a nightshift routine next month.. thanks for the tips! I’ll work 2 or 3 nights, be off two or three nights. The schedule is consistent on nights at least. That 3am hurts the worst, I’ve worked them before. 😅

I may have to try that double A eye mask, may help my dry eyes,
Love your video, by the way cpap is working
