What's it like working night shift?

I’m interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I’ve always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I’m a little scared of the idea though! I’m worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs.

The night shift for me was the purest form of hell. My favorite shift was the 2-10, 3-11.

Brahm1nmam,

Like 2nd shift or morning shift?

prolly 2nd, mornings are really busy depending on where you work

Overnight wasn’t bad because I could sleep while the kiddo was at school. 2nd is pretty rough though if you have a family.

Nemo,

My youngest is about to enter kindergarten; I need to transition to daytime. It means leaving my current job, which is love, but otherwise I’ll never see my kids.
