astrodiaper Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Anybody else work graveyard shifts out there? Is it more interesting living dusk to dawn? I volunteered to work this shift, where it's nice and quiet but it is boring on my nights off. Just checking, because I'm sure I'm not the only one. Link to comment
Angela Bauer Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Even before I graduated from law school in 1988 I found it was to my advantage to get up before 0400 so I could study and work a few hours before the office was crowded and my phone was ringing constantly. Once I returned to Los Angeles assigned to my law firms Downtown office I still get up no later than 0400. The advantage to me is that I seldom need to remain in my office later than 1700.

DiapermanAl Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes my wife and I deliver news papers in the early am. Usually have the papers by 12:30-1:00 Link to comment
choctawboi Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I work the night shift (1900 to 0700) as a paramedic, and I can honestly say that it's amazing becuase of the interesting things we see when everyone else should be asleep. HOWEVER, yeah, on the off days, it gets boring, and I don't get to spend some of the time I wish i could with certain people Link to comment
Letluvsrool Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I loved working night shifts, but the careers available to you are somewhat limited. Also, at the time I was living in the Pac. NW so I pretty much never saw the sun for months at a time. It tends to make you depressed without any sunshine. Link to comment

It does get to me gettin up well after sunset, but the sun is either rising or pretty well up when I head home. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I worked night shifts for a summer, and I didn't like it at all. The sleeping schedule was so new to me that I'd sleep literally all day up until an hour or two until my next shift began. So for the first few weeks there it felt like I was just sleeping and working. Link to comment
diaperlad Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I use to do it years ago for almost a decade. I worked at a store all by myself. I enjoyed it. Being alone doesn't bother me so never got bored. I don't know how many times sometimes I would wear a diaper to work. Sometimes I even doubled up and had a bulky butt. I like being at home during the day. Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I don't work night shift, but I promise you I can stay up later than I can get up earlier! Link to comment
painterfox Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I work a swing shift (evenings), but I stay up after work until the sun comes up most days. I've been naturally more nocturnal since I was a kid, so I don't have a problem with it. Link to comment
Benjamin Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Worked the early morning "pre-load" shift (roughly 2:00AM to 8:00AM) for several years at UPS during my early 20's. The Christmas season was NUTS! It was sort of fun at the time, but I never seemed to get very good sleep during that time. Gotta say, I really love being on a more typical schedule these days, hope I never have to take another night job again. Link to comment
-Sudoku- Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It's 3:20am here! I'm a life-long insomniac and get all my best work done at night. My brain doesn't come with an off switch, so I live on Pro Plus when I need to be up early (I have two jobs, one of which involves early starts in an office during half the week). I can usually be found either writing, painting or reading in the early hours of the morning. It's just so peaceful around that time. I used to run on the streets at night while the rest of the world was asleep and I felt far more connected to everything. Link to comment
oliver d Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Worked the night shift many years ago as a electro mechanical technician,in lots of ways I liked it but somethings I hated as not being able to have a life seeing friends and the like. Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Caught an actual owl sitting on the road tonight as I drove home in the fresh snow. Pleasant surprise! Link to comment
