Ho Hum...Back on days...

Ho hum, well, here I am, sat at home and waiting for the clock to tick round to 6:15 am, when I will venture out into the rain in order to catch my bus into town and go to work.

I have just spent about three months doing night shifts every week (5 or 6 nights a week) so as you can imagine, my body clock is a bit shot to pieces.

I've got four days followed by two nights then holiday for ten days!! Yipee!!

Will try to post when I get home tonight (around 5:30pm) if i'm not too tired

Re: Ho Hum...Back on days...

I sleep better on nights than I do on days. I absolutely hate days, must have something to do with getting up at 0500

Re: Ho Hum...Back on days...

Good luck with the adjustment in your work pattern, Woppy. My son's girlfriend is a midwife and she follows an everchanging rota of "earlies" "lates" and nights. It is exhausting because she doesn't have the opportunity to adjust to one work pattern before it changes.

Smile Re: Ho Hum...Back on days...

I know how you feel woppy, I walk into work from home which takes approximately 45 minutes. I do it so I can keep myself fit and the walk into work is approximately 2 - 3 miles. As I start at 8.45am I leave the house at 7.50am which gives me ample of time to get to work.

Re: Ho Hum...Back on days...

I can sympathize with you, Woppy. I was on swingshift (2.30 PM to midnight) for two years and the first month or so back on days was difficult. Now I get up an hour early so I can play in here.

Re: Ho Hum...Back on days...

I spent two years working graveyard shift. Hated it. Did not sleep well at all..and on my days off I ended up sitting awake most of the night because I could only sleep during the day.
