I used to work permanent nights, loved it. Monday to Wednesday 5pm to 4:30am, Thursday 5pm to 1am. Usually home in bed by 5:30- 6am, then up at 12 or 1pm...... or if i did overtime finish at 6, in bed by 7am and up buy 2pm......... with a nice long weekend every weekend, or overtime on Saturday mornings if I wanted. I found it quite easy but I guess that's because I was always a night owl anyway and didn't have a family back then
This will be 5 day shift, 5 off, 5 night shift, 5 off, 4 day, 4 off, 4 night, 4 off and repeat

Good ole "lifestyle" roster as they call it up here. Its not nice. I prefer more consistent shifts. Experience tells from about night 3 you are starting to be ok with it. Working mon-fri afternoon/night shifts (1600-0000) is easy as its consistent. 4-5-5-4 is hard to get use to. Danger hours are between 0300 and 0400.Quote:

Yeah it'll be a shock. The closest I've come is a few months of afternoon shift a long time ago. That was 4pm till 11pm which was great because it wasn't much later than the time I'd normally be up till.
Luckily we don't have any kids yet so I'll be able to run the routine I need.

I often stay up all night but it'll be hard without beer....
