Shift Workers. A Question For.......................?

Question

if you work EARLY shifts.. ie: 0300 starts..when you get home, do you sleep in the afternoon? or do you just go to bed earlier the night before.and do you still feel awful if you do?. what's the best one, as i am just starting new/long early shifts cheers

Answer 1

well, when you say 3 u mean 3am i guess. when i work at night (midnight to 8am) i get home, have my breakfast and do some stuff in the house. i go to bed around 10-10h30 am and get up at 2-3 pm. then, i have some time for myself and i go to bed again at 8-9 pm till about 10:30 pm.

but i don't regularly work on shifts so i donno if that could work for a long time. night shifts are exhausting (well for me)
