No more night shifts for me. But now on splits so start at 0700 finish at 1300 then back on from any where between 1530 to 1800 until 2200, with 7 on 2 off then 2 on 3 off. I is a royal bottom wiper in the community now. But due to pattern it can get a little tiring at times as I is also on call.

ive just finished 7 night shifts (12hrs) going back on to 5 day shifts (12hrs) then back onto 7 nights.

its a loooooong time!

Jesus, that's crazy!

Anyone else on tonight?? I've been called in to do an extra one tonight... didn't have an extra sleep this morning though so will be pretty shattered when tomorrow morning rolls around...

Chris you soon wont have any time to work, what with being the Shetland Isles specialist & Foc-u affiliate . The Shetlands Fazer contingent will hunt you down, all 3 of them , & theres hardly anywhere to hide, the more posts you tally up, the more they'll hunt you,you'll be like a haggis running round & round a hill with 1 leg shorter than the other. You have been warned!!!

HAHAHA!! Thanks Frazer! I'll keep that in mind! Haha, pretty sure i'm the only Shetlander on here but there are certainly a few fazers on the island. I'll try and get a few more members when the bikers rally is on in June. If you've never been to the simmer dim rally then you are missing out!

Been pretty flat out here tonight so probably won't be on here much. Enjoy your last night on Farjo!

Thanks Chris

Question - Does anyone else have days off between nightshifts, and if so do you go back to daytime living or stay nocturnal?

I do, I've been on tonight (friday night) and am on again Monday night but i'll sleep till lunch time tomorrow (saturday - still tomorrow in my head even though i'm almost 4 hours into saturday) and get a normal nights sleep saturday night and sunday night then a long lie on Monday morning till half 11 or maybe 12 then do my nightshift on monday.

So to answer your question, if it's more than one night off in between then no I don't stay on nightshift time i'll kick my clock back around but if it's just one night inbetween then i'll stay on night mode.

Hope that makes sense...

Chris

As I work 3 different shifts (earlies, lates, nights) with only a day or two between them I have little choice. :-\
Although after a set of nights I too sleep only a few hours and just walk round like a zombie with jet lag for the first day off. It can't be good for your health (and I've got to keep this up 'till I'm 55???) :-[

Yes, sometimes I question how good this kicking my body clock in the head is but this is the happiest I've ever been with my work/life balance. When I used to be on full time day shifts consisting of earlies and lates then I just felt like I was at work all the time and it made me take my work home with me which was horrible. Doing nights means I've dropped a few hours overall but enhanced pay for unsocial hours almost makes that a negligible difference especially because I do a few extra shifts here and there but only when I want too.

Because the shifts are longer 12 hours instead of the 7.5 hour day shifts then I get all my work out the way quicker too and therefore have much more time to do things I like, eg, work on my bike, speak to you lot

etc etc

Shift work does have its plus points to be fair, empty shops midweek, no sitting in rush hour traffic, off peak gym if that's your thing...
