Sleep patterns for me were shot years ago as I've been a shift worker for about thirty years. I do try to do the same things at the same times depending on my shifts so as to train my brain for sleep. For nights though, I have a set wake/sleep routine and as soon as I know I'm doing nights I'm mentally prepared. Tonight is my first night of three so I will automatically start to wind down from 1500 ready to nap at 1600 for a couple of hours. Up early now as I'm taking Dad for his (hopefully) final chemo. A short two hour Rituximab infusion.I am now like a 5 year old trapped inside a super hot 46 year old body. I go to bed at 20:30 and wake up at 05:00.
When I do pm shift, or nights, it really kills my sleep patterns and I need two days to get back into a rhythm.
I feel the depression of night shift seep into me 48hours prior to the shift.Sleep patterns for me were shot years ago as I've been a shift worker for about thirty years.

The day of the night shift I basically sloth around depressed, then have a 3 hour nap at 15:00, then wait depressed till I leave at 22:30.

I can't believe I used to prefer nightshift for a period there, now days I'd rather put needles through my testicles
I have a male co worker who prefers nights. He and I have become firm friends. We often play who would you fuck to save the world, causes immature, verbal sex offending snot dribble laughter. He likes nights because patient interaction is minimal, and he only has to put up with skeleton staff.I can't believe I used to prefer nightshift for a period there, now days I'd rather put needles through my testicles
He said to me once "these fucking nasty bitches are starting to ruin my attraction to women".
Too funny.
It is well known night shift is the least amount of work for the most amount of money. Personally I would pay $500 not to do it.

I'm getting my lashes did today. The feeling of someone gently stroking your lashes is so relaxing. It makes me feel peaceful inside.
I really love them. And the best part, no need for mascara.

My straight male friends would disagreed, they have crushes on them

I was disappointed and didn't buy a thing! Lots of things you can find on sale throughout the year anyway, and because not doing a traditional Xmas this year no presents needed to be brought so I was a good boy! Did you find anything?
