I've been working overnight shifts for almost 5 years, and seem to be one of the few that love it.
I used to work the night shift myself but it caused a lot of problems with my marital, family, and personal relationships which is quite common with shift work.
I don't really have a family or personal life, so maybe that's why it works so well for me. I love being able to sleep in on work days!
Well I'm glad you like it! Just be sure to watch out for symptoms of Shift Work Sleep Disorder like falling asleep at work.
What are the other symptoms of Shift Work Sleep Disorder? I fall asleep at work occasionally, but thought it was just a part of working graveyard.
Mainly just insomnia and excessive sleepiness during non work times.
Interesting. What other risks are associated with shift work?
Well there's sleep inversion, it's when you absolutely cannot sleep unless its daytime and vice versa.
I've never heard of that! I'm sure there's a lot of crazy shift schedules that make healthy sleep habits hard.
Yep, and sleep is super important. It's a basic requirement for all mammals and most other animals.
