This is generally why us night shift workers tend to not live as long as normal day workers. I get by on about 4 to 5 hours of sleep a day.... I use the alexa apps to get me off to sleep and have a black out curtain |

Did it for 4 months, never again , I was getting about 3 hours sleep , tried ear plugs , black out blinds etc but my body clock wasn’t having it , every week I was getting more and more grumpy, had zero energy, so moved back to days |

I've worked nights for over 25 years, I wouldn't like to go back to working days.
Monday mornings I'm usually awake for 05:00, then I'm up all day, off to work in the evening and by Tuesday morning I'm really tired after being up 24 hours.
So Tuesday mornings I try to aim my head on the pillow by 06:00, I get 6-7 hours decent sleep which sets my body clock back into nights for the rest of the week.

Some people enjoy nights I've know some to swap to work nights.
Getting up early for day shift with an alarm is not enjoyable.
Nights I wake up when I'm ready . |

I have worked full time nightshift for 24years. I start at 8 and finish at 8. My sleep pattern is awful. Sometimes i am back at work after only 4hrs sleep. I try to catch up on days off but find myself wide awake at 2am. |
