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.

  So, night shift workers of the world, what has your experience been like and how do you manage being present in your family life?

    I fucking love night shifts. For the last two years I’ve worked exclusively night shifts (23:00-7:00 or 19:00-7:00).

    Super unhealthy though - I often sleep only two or three hours before my shift, and I do stuff all day.

    This works for me since I never really slept much (I would often stay awake till 3-4 in the morning after work).

    With night shifts I just do the same but I get to work when there isn’t much work to do and do stuff I want to do during daytime.
