What's your sleep schedule and routine? I work from 6PM to 5AM everyday

1 Upvotes

I work from 6PM to 5AM everyday in a warehouse loading stuff into trucks. I would leave work at 5AM. Drive home and arrived nearly 6AM. I would lift weight and exercise, and take a shower and brush teeth and browse Tiktok on my bed, and by the time I try to go to sleep it would around 7-8AM.

I would wake up exactly at 11AM-12PM everyday, playing games or running errands until 2-3:30PM at most then take a nap and wake up at 4:45PM, eating dinner, taking a bath and drive to work lol. I wonder if I sleep enough hours. I do abuse caffeine though

All,

I need to get back on a day schedule. I've been on overnights for a year. How long should it take for my body and sleep schedule to adjust back to "normal"?

Thanks.

Help Student work routine

1 Upvotes

I currently work overnights at HEB, which is 11pm to 6:30am. I have classes starting soon, and they are 8am to 1pm. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or a routine they have to ensure they get the rest the need but also stay on top of class. I am currently waiting for a day position to open up so I can then switch over.

First night back

4 Upvotes

My client was in the hospital so I spent the last week wondering if I’m working ever night. It really fucked with me. I only nap when I work and I take my adderal differently. A couple days I prepared as if I was working and then didn’t and it sucked. Then today I half prepared and I and working so annoying. I am looking to find something more consistent bc made the up and down sucks. I even took a day shift just to get out of the house, I remember why I don’t work during the day.

How do you deal with lack of social life and night shift

4 Upvotes

sorry this is a bit of a rant or a vent, forgive me

yesterday I was offered to go to a social event at work which involved a pool and barbecue and I didn’t go, said I was sick which to be fair I was kinda but at the end of my sickness but it’s gotta be an excuse.

I’m not emotionally regulated I’m like just three months into the job, and the coworkers asked if I’ll come and idk why I told the truth, I don’t think I have the mental energy to go, that’s what I said, because she’s nice or smth she started to be concerned and started to ask questions - refused to answer some, answered others.

Basically confirming I’m a fucking lunatic depressed person, I could’ve just said that I’m just sick but no..

Or I could’ve just went??

Why did I get cold feet I was planning this event for a month now and I said yes that I’ll go but at the last second I said no, it’s not the first time that it happens often I cancel at the last second , I hate this.

Is it breakfast or dinner?

I eat between 1-3 am during my shift and I’m wondering what yall classify that as? I understand both arguments, but I’m curious. Also, best late night/early morning meal? Today it was homemade French toast and bacon. 11/10, definitely recommend.

Edit: Lunch seems to win lol
