Even though we are still in a pandemic I still think working 8 nights on the trot is absolutely stupid what's the longest you have works for with no days off  |

Is that your contracted hours or are you earning extra?
At the start of the pandemic I was going in to work every day for 3 months, although at the weekends it was only for a few hours to do some daily reports. |

I used to do 12 hr shifts on nights, generally 4 on 4 off, but was covering for people on Summer holidays and ended up doing 24 straight shifts 
Good job I only lived a 5 min walk away and see ma Dog at break time  |

I often used to do 13 days out of 14, 13 being the legal maximum for the job I was doing before I had to have a day off. I'd work my two days off one week, then one day off the next. I often did shift overtime too, taking a day from our standard 7hr35 up to around 10hr30. |

5 months off 18-19 hours self inflicted could have take a brake at any time but was pushing the boundaries off what was possible and brakeing new ground |

I once had two weeks of working fourteen hour days with no days off. I was foolishly trying to prove myself and "get ahead" by showing I was capable. By the end of it I was exhausted and making little to no sense! |

My husband hasn't had a day off since August, not even Christmas Day. The joys (or not) of running your own business.
He has also been doing 17 hour shifts daily since January. I've also been working long shifts but do get more time off as I have the housework and children to look after. |

With my current job the most I’ve done in a row was 9 split shifts.. starting at 7am an hour break at 2 and then 3pm-10pm for 9 days. I was absolutely exhausted but payday was nice |
