You will eventually get used to sleeping in the day. When I worked night shift I would come home and do stuff, then go to bed about 8 hours before I had to get up for work. I also put a dark blanket/towel over the window so that no light would get through. My body got so used to sleeping during the day I could sleep without the covering the window. I might be wierd because I can also work swing shift (work 1st, sleep 2nd, work 3rd, sleep 1st, work 2nd, sleep 3rd, work 1st) and not miss a beat.

Anyway congrats on the job man.

 

swing shift sounds like a PITA for me anyway.......i better just stick to one shift at a time LOL!

Sounds like i will be getting all the sleep i need now...i found out they are shutting down the line i work on next week so i wont be working at all now next week........UGH!

 

Working shift work, esp. graves takes a real toll on your body. It will take 10 years off your life there young man. Watch the food intake as well because the weight will pack on from screwing with your internals.

Don't ask me how I know.

 

Hey CumminsCrazed Do you really think it's a good idea to have a fram filter for your avatar. Or did you switch jobs? I thought you were working for Cummins. I'm all confused

 

We won't hate you for swinging the other way!

 

i didnt put it there, someone put that filter on there and ive already changed it cuz i HATE fram filters with a passion......i just wanna know who did it...

well ive never heard of working a graveyard shift taking years off someones life, however the whole packing on pounds makes sense which is why i eat very little during the night there, usually a half a sandwich and maybe a side of fruit or something along with consuming liquids throughout the night

 

Look it up. It is probably on John Hopkins website somewhere. They say it all the time up here on medical stories on the news etc.

 

... Nice!
Keep us informed please

 

Im Screwed then i work night shift, smoke Marlboro Reds, and drink way to much Mt.Dew at work, plus all the fumes from the trucks and forklifts. I figure i got 10-15 more years then see ya later.

I think that stuff is crazy, everything they say is gonna kill us, smokin, night shift, GLOBAL WARMING(Horse Crap), teenage girls texting in cavaliers, shoot the new brake cleaner at work is non-flammable so its safe for the environment what kind of crap is that, how in the world are the teenagers supposed to huff it if it aint bad for em, the nerve of some people i tell ya.










Im just kidding about the huffin thing i dont condone drugs use.

 

Hellllllllllllo, CC, you out there in cyber-space? Guess not, must be sleeping.
