![PURPEECH - นี่ฉันเองคนที่... (It's me) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NuhHd0hOOg8/mqdefault.jpg)
i worked a night shift for a while myself and this is pretty accurate: only other thing i'd maybe add is other people legit do not care about your sleep needs and will be as loud as they please when your asleep
I had a neighbor who decided to use her lawn mower in my sleeping hours. Every other day. So I kinda sorta started being snippy and on one of my nights off, I played really loud music in the back yard untilnsje came out shouting. We were in the same tiny apartment building. I was on my side and she came out to hers. Never heard the lawn mower again cause she moved away with her boyfriend a week later.
Yes! Neighbors in general are such a hassle. My family tends to be night owls, over a neighbor who goes to work early in the morning. We have a solid couple of hours where we can shuffle around without driving him crazy, and it drives *me* crazy!
That's actually the only con for me as a naturally nocturnal person. A night shift suits me well cause I dislike sunlight and enjoy the dark, and extra pay and stuff is a cherry on top, only issue is that other people are active during the day which makes sleeping through the day difficult
This is why, when I did night shift for about 2 years, I learned how to sleep with earplugs. At one point, though, there was a plumbing issue and my landlord got the shittiest plumbers ever, who insisted that they needed to access the pipes by tearing apart my flooring... in a basement suite... it was concrete. They needed to use a jackhammer... all fucking day... for multiple consecutive days. And I had nowhere else to stay. I was in hell!
That’s fine lol I learned to sleep with noise, and I return the favour of not caring when people are sleeping, it’s honestly really weird I can sleep perfectly fine with sunlight shining directly on me, noise and under most other bothersome circumstances. all while still instantly waking up if someone enters my room or a noise that’s not supposed to be there gets made. I do sleep very weirdly tho I’m practically always Conscious and always know that I’m dreaming and remember them. sometimes I’ll even make logical thought process in my dream like, what was that noise oh just my sister getting home from school all in my dream, or will remember a conversation that people in my house were having while I was sleeping. I can go from sleep to complicated conversation in a instant. If someone asks me something I also answer usually, people used to think I was pretending to be sleeping because of how easily I transition from sleep to wake.
When you live in a country without much sun, you tend to develop Vitamin D deficiency. The fact that you had a night shift in Wyoming means that you probably have that effect amplified by three.
I live in a country with an average of just over 4 hours of sunlight a day and I’m often recommended by doctors to take vitamin D tablets.
I'm from Spain (where we have TOO MUCH sun!) and went on vacation this past october to Poland. Like 70% of the ads in the polish tv channels were for vitamin D supplements! Also a lot of ads for joint health supplements, for some reason that may be related idk.
Yeah he should start consuming some food with high vitamin D before he starts feeling the symptoms
I live in Illinois so we get plenty of sun between the months of like April to end of October, and yET my stupid body refuses to absorb any vitamin D without the help of supplements. My levels have hit 11 ng/ml and I was put on 50,000u of prescription strength Vitamin D. We got up to a nice healthy level a few months after. Fast forward like 5 months and uh-oh! Look who’s Vitamin D levels tanked again! (It was mine). Back on 50,000u. Recheck is good. Doctor orders me to continue taking an over the counter supplement. I’ve since added a 1,000u supplement to my morning medication cocktail. Was feeling pretty good but then winter rolled around and I can feel the deficiency exhaustion setting in again. It’s fun :)
winter in poland *exists*
everyone : *buys out every vitamin d supplement in the shop*
It’s a miracle, a video by the sea rabbit. My goodness, it’s gonna be amazing! Glad to see another video.
Same here
Just got back from my homies party and sea rabbit uploaded. Best night of my life
Yeah! :D

That was such a smooth slide into a merch promo haha
*The keychain plushies look so adorable ahh!*
correction, they look delicous.
and nutritious
And scrumptious
And appetizing
and delightful
This hits hard as someone who's naturally nocturnal and far more comfortable at night, having to do the sleep schedule reset every week for the one early morning I have for uni XD
Shut up
Uni make me nocturnal
you're just antisocial
I feel this cause I'm a night person. Night is safe and peaceful.
Really fun how others are having the exact same experiences as you.
For some reason my body naturally tries to be nocturnal, and I can say that yeah this is pretty true, my favorite thing is that at night everything is super calm and nice outside, going for walks and just being outside is way more enjoyable at 2 or 3am, but you always feel like shit and never talk to other people-__-
Ig ur body is not trying to be nocturnal but some ppl just cant have a sleep scedual, i have a friend like that
@@igorsladic you're probably right, it's less that my body wants to be nocturnal and more than it's damn near impossible to keep the same schedule, I just go to bed later and later every night, just around and around. But for some reason it's way easier to keep it at night than during the day
that's called a circadian rhythm disorder and there are solutions to it like getting specific lights to keep you on a 'normal' schedule. I'm like that too
Yeah I hate working in sunlight hours. I’m most productive when things get dark. Normally I get most my work done between about 6pm to midnight.
Where are you where you feel safe going on walks at 3am??????
My mom has been a 12-hour night shift nurse for 40 years now. Coffee has become the one thing keeping her going and she's pretty much given up going to social events so she can get sleep. Nocturnal life has become so normal she doesn't really know what she's going to do when she retires. My mom works 3 to 4 times a week so on the days off she tries to get up a little earlier for appointments and things. I have no idea how she does it, but I applaud people who are willing to change their lifestyle in order to be there for others. Thank you!
SORRY : th-cam.com/video/KgVxuBTycjk/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely love this style of animation
i really like how you animated this one! looks very good
I worked night shift the summer after my first year of college and tried to keep as normal of a schedule as possible. I would sleep at night and be awake during the day on weekends. I also took summer courses online and would do my assignments after waking up and before my shift. It was a miserable time, so my hats go off to the people who make it work.
SORRY : th-cam.com/video/KgVxuBTycjk/w-d-xo.html
Spending alot of time at a hospital
As someone who's currently fighting in my job to be transferred to dayshifts, this is painfully accurate.
All points are valid as someone currently doing night shift. I miss seeing the Sun but I also don’t get extra pay.
Why do you do it? Is it specialized or something?
This sounds like a rough time. I hope you got yourself a vitamin D supplement during this, I had to be prescribed one during the height of my seasonal depression (on top of the usual depression)
my friend has the double whammy too. power to ya mate.
I used to work a night shift and I can confirm everything in this video. For hours, I could just stare blankly at a wall and no one would question why. I especially agree with the neutral point, meals 1, 2, and 3. Used to get asked things like, "Who mixes steak and pizza for breakfast?" I do, because time is an illusion.
The meal thing is straight up perk!
The joy of ending your shift at 4-5 am and before leaving a college, who's also on the night shift, ask you "hey? There's pancake today at the cafeteria.. Wanna grab breakfast with me before we leave?"
As someone who both doesn't eat and loves breakfast, this would be a dream.
As someone who has been doing night/early morning shifts for 4 years now, I can confirm the accuracy of these pros and cons. Personally the empty roads are hands down my favorite part.
Yoooooo so exited to see another searabbit vid you're great man love your work
I appreciate your work in this really annoying time for healthcare workers :)
I work night shift, here are my tips and tricks to surviving.... I have been doing this for a long time now. It's an art form.
I highly recommend to double up on the blackout curtains. That's right TWO SETS. *MAYBE THREE*
The difference is monumental.
Also, get floor length blackout curtains, double those puppies up, and use a tension rod to put them in your doorway.
This reduces noise SIGNIFICANTLY, as well as cuts the amount of light able to enter your room. If you have pets that like to sleep with you, it's even better because you can use something to prop your door slightly open (but mostly closed) and they can come and go whenever they want and it's still dark af.
It's also not a bad idea to have things like tapestries or other things that will help reduce noise from being able to bounce around.
For instance, my room shares a wall with our living room wall that has the TV on it. I got those ikea wardrobes, and put them full across that wall. The clothes help cut the noise of the TV by a lot.
Also, a desk fan, noise machine, or a sleep sound playlist is also a fantastic idea. We have a desk fan we turn on, and the sound Pavlov's dogs us into falling asleep.
Melatonin supplements can also be useful if you ever throw your sleep out of wack, but I wouldn't use them every day. But oh man, they can be a real hail marry if you're having a rough time.
Pretty much what I do except I don't have pets
Xanax also works but OK.
I have the ability to sleep wherever it's possible to lay my head down.
@@paxtoncargill4661 lucky. I have a friend like this.
@@thedemotivationalspeaker3090 it's alright, I have a very, very hard time waking up usually.
I did 6p to 6a Night Shift from December to August/Septemberish, it was by choice but the loneliness is all too real. Actually lost friends who got fed up with me “ignoring” them 😔
Those are... Probably not good friends then, I honestly don't understand why certain people just can't... Not see their friends for a few weeks, like sorry that I'm living my life. I hope you found some tighter friends that'll stick too you better
@@fordprefect5967 I mean i get why the friends got fed up with him “ignoring” them. Imagine not seeing your close friends for weeks. Your not their friend anymore if you only see or talk to them like once every 4 weeks. Your just people you see every now and then at that point. A friend is someone you spend time with and have fun with. If you don’t do that with your friends, are they even considered friends at that point?
@@dylanguava1867 If you have fun while you are together and genuinely enjoy being around each other why does it matter how often you see each other to be considered friends? Idk how old you are, but I'm sure that for most the older you get the less likely you are to spend time with friends between being busy with work/life and trying to balance that with seeing family and being their for your own. In some ways seeing friends less often can be beneficial in the sense that you'll have more things to touch on and talk about as opposed to just saying a slightly different version of what you said yesterday.

I also worked graveyard for years! Though, not as a nurse. Massive respect to you, brother.
I think, other than Vitamin D, our circadian rhythms all adjust differently. I had some pretty bad habits that developed in me an affinity for isolation, and the easiest way to be isolated all of the time is to just be awake when nobody else is, too. So part of me still has a hard time associating the sun going down with the end of a day, but rather it always feel like things have just begun once it gets dark. The thing about basking in sunlight before bed is absolutely true tho, can be a blessing and a curse.
As a trucker, it’s kinda nice running the night shifts. Traffic is almost all of the problem when you’re a trucker.
I enjoy the dark. It doesn't feel like I'm being flashbanged all the time, and the quietness/lack of people is so relaxing. Like you don't need to worry about the stress of societal norms or anything, and you can just kinda vibe and do your own thing.
As a fellow nocturnal who is bound by our corporate overlords at Amazon, I can say with 100% confidence that this is entirely accurate.
Kudos on making it through your nights! I’m semi-nocturnal with my own 12-hour nights and rounding my third year on them.
And thanks for your service in medicine. Hope you were treated well
Con #5 really gets to me because this last Christmas my family was pissed at me because I didn't go to a Christmas breakfast at 7 am which I was told about the night before (though with sleep schedules like ours it was the same day).
Ditto, I managed to get Thanksgiving day off by working the night before and my husband’s family was ticked that I wanted to sleep and not help with cooking or be super social. I mean I had precooked and brought a few dishes I had made for thanksgiving on my previous off day so it wasn’t like I wasn’t trying at all…
I go on night shift very often for a month at a time, sometimes two. During the summer one of my favorite things to do was go longboarding at 3am when the roads were quite. Everything you mentioned hit like a brick, I couldn't imagine going for half a year. Stay strong solider
Good to see you back sea rabbit :>
Should have said good to sea you back rabbit
Ikr right like it was such a layup and you just slapped it into the stands
fricking banger, heres to a 2022 with like 2 videos
Missed ya dude! don't worry upload videos whenever I'll gladly watch them whenever I can
As someone who has worked a graveyard Shift for about 6 years. The significant other stuff hits HARD...
With my last Ex-Gf, she worked in the early mornings so like 10a.m. to 6p.m. and me with the opposite time of 10p.m. to 6a.m. it really sucked, since by the time I arrived to work I would simply make her B-fast and wake her up so she would go to work, and she would do the same for me.
We ended up spending about 1-2 hours/day max together awake and it sucked. This spiralled into losing a lot of our intimacy both physically but more importantly emotionally.
This eventually led us to basically become roommates who slept on the same bed. Sadly the relationship just died.
So yes, dating can be REAL hard unless both are willing to put up with a semi constant lack of sleeping and a lot of effort.
Now, when random inspiration hits you at 3am, you can actually act on it.
yo sea rabbit you were literally my childhood thanks for being my favorite animator on youtube bro much respect (when you used to live stream i watched so much that i got gifted subs)
You've been playing with the animation style again - looks good! I like how you kept the design of writing it by hand, but I bet it's at least a little easier to make and undo mistakes😁
this was my very first animation channel i have every watch. Love your channel keep it up
The Sea Rabbit is finally back WOOOO! love your videos keep up the good work 👍
When I was 14 my brain decided to screw me over by making me go on a third shift to avoid the anxieties of school and other things. It sucked that I never got to go on morning walks and stuff like that, but there were a few pros. I woke up to the smell of mom's beautiful dinners, nobody was there to tell me I couldn't microwave leftover pizza for my other two meals, and I got to get better at gaming because I had nobody there to keep me doing anything productive.
Child of a night shifter, thus I have an insane schedule. My dad has us 7 children to work with during our waking hours while our mom 1: sleeps the day away or 2: works. We can still do a little with here but her times are slim.
Same, my mom works through 5 pm - 4 am and also has 7 kids to deal with
@@deadaccountlolimnotusingth2971 is your dad around?
@@thebigfrog0770my parents are divorced and my mom has full time custody, so no
@@deadaccountlolimnotusingth2971 sry about that. Must be REALLY tough for yo mom. Make sure she knows you appreciate her.
It’s awesome to see how your style has evolved! Keep it up!
and then there's me, who slips in a 6am-14pm sleep schedule whenever i stop having outside forces dictate my schedule for me. it's like my brain just wakes up at night, and it's when i'm most productive. whenever it's examn season i go to bed when the sun wakes up and i can somehow trick myself into thinking the sun is setting.
You living in the real Future. 14pm my god xD
@@yourlilemogirl lol whenever i have an examn in the morning i just don't need to go to bed. Somebody send help
That's my sleep schedule.
I work until 2 AM and tried to get to sleep toward 3-4 AM for years to no avail. Just not enough time to relax after work and having most of your free-time before work kind of ruin it, since you always have "I have to work in x hour" in your mind and keep checking the time.
Like you, my brain just started associating sunrise whit sleepy time and I have no trouble making good long night of deep sleep. The only thing that suck is shopping. I'm not a early person, so having to do them at the start of my day just suck.
This just hit hard. I don’t work night shifts but I’m dealing with a terrible sleep schedule right now.
really like the art style!!!!!!!
Been working night shift for 8 months getting off at 3am and haven’t noticed any cons since I have set weekends off including fridays when I get stuff done. I pretty much love it.
I love your videos but for the sleep schedules everyone's brain is different, me personally without alarms in the morning, and needing to go to bed at a certain time my natural sleep schedule (ie falling asleep when tired and waking when body decides) was 4pm - 10am
ORRY : th-cam.com/video/KgVxuBTycjk/w-d-xo.html
Wow, 16 hours?!
@@SimoraCheeks1 I was awake from 4pm -10 am, sleeping from 10am-3:30/4pm so around 6 hours of sleep
As someone who has worked night shift for about a year and a half now. Like half your cons are actually pros. It's alot easier for appointments since most people work 1st shift. I actually get to see the sun more now because I'm not forced into a building all day long. And you can also be more flexible with your schedule if you need to be. I think night shift is really better than day shift.
I also have to do nights and days as shift work, and I definitely think the worst part is having no energy all the time, it just sucks your soul
hey just to tell you i think your videos are super cool! you’re like one of the only animators i know that doesn’t really use digital art and i think it’s super rad B)
Hm, that’s pretty interesting. My preferred hours of sleep are actually somewhere between 2AM and 12 AM. As a freelancer and an artist, I’ve had many different sleeping schedules in my life but out of them all I absolutely despised waking up at around 5-6 AM for school or work. I’ve always ended up miserable and cranky throughout the whole morning and had to take an 1 hour nap after going home, no matter how much sleep I got during that night, just so I have enough energy to exist. Now, waking up at around 11-12 AM I’m usually perfectly rested and ready to take on the day. When it comes to creativity, with my current sleeping schedule I’m at my most creative at around 5PM to 2AM and that’s when I usually work. Then I need an hour for some self care and a quick shower and I go to sleep. That being said, I don’t like going to sleep later than 4 AM. Naturally, my body starts going into survival mode if I don’t head out to bed before 4 AM. I will usually get very hungry and my heart will beat faster, making me equally tired and restless. I also hate falling asleep when it’s sunny outside but once I fall asleep I don’t really mind it. So, that’s what I found out works for me. It also leaves me with some time in the afternoon to do the shopping and other chores while it’s still working hours for everyone. It feels healthy to me, I don’t know if there’s anyone in the comments who can confirm or deny it but if there’s any way you can adjust your schedule and sleep between 3AM and 11AM I can fully recommend it.
This is awesome to read. I have always felt that I funcionated best at night but always have this fear of not following the "common life".
Lately I’ve gone to bed at around 2 am and have woken up at noon. If I don’t set the alarm I sleep for more than 12 hours which is too long. I’m not looking forward to returning to studying and having to wake up at 7 am. Hopefully I won’t have too many headaches...
It's uncanny how people can just go to bed at 10pm and get exactly 8 hours of sleep and wake up at 6am.
I completely agree with you, we are not all wired up for a 9-5 existence and your experience isn’t too far from mine.
Hearing you work 12hour shifts reminds me of my mom. She works 7am-7pm shifts and 7pm-7am shifts sometimes
I personally find just about the opposite to be true. It's hard to have my schedule be where I'm not awake at night. Even if I forcefully correct it, it just sorta falls back to night owl.
Nice mini sea rabbit keychain. I missed out on your other sea rabbits already. I am NOT missing those. Thanks for the heads up. This also explains why you haven't posted any animations for a while. I like that you didn't bother changing the part for 2021 at the beginning that made me laugh. Happy new year!
Watching this before going in for my overnight shift that I've been doing for a couple months now 🙃 I'm an annoying morning person, so its especially rough for me 😂
I either sleep 13 hours straight or not at all 🤦♀️
MHT here! I work night shifts and you are on point with everything! One of my favorite things about night shifts is that when you are working with coworkers,everyone is so tired that we all find the smallest things funny 😂
How did you manage powerlifting between all of that? Did you take a break from it, or try and fit it in before or after work?
2:07 "I'm going to be taking care of you at work when I'm done with you" (emotional damage)
My stepdad is also a nurse so living with him while he's up all night was weird. I could tell he didn't like it either.
I recently started a new job that is 2:30pm to 11pm, but we actually get done at 1am. I also have to drive 50 minutes home, so I get home and shower and go to bed at 2:30pm. I hate it here! I can no longer socialize with friends and family. Also they are starting a mandatory 6 days a week, 10 hour days next week. I hate assembly work now, this is supposed to be temporary till I land a job that uses my college skills.
kind of highlights how messed up the world is when my main takeaway from this was you earn more money from working nights
A chunk of working nights successfully is prep. Blackout curtains, earplugs, vitamin D supplements, and knowing what’s open when before choosing when bedtime is are all necessary. Also, tricking your brain gets helpful, such as keeping lights on at night but turning them off during your daytime hours. I also like going to bed in the morning, cause sunrise and sunset are easilly confused, especially if you’ve been indoors working when it started.
I have a suggestion for the title and thumbnail. Rather than titling the video something niche, like "No Vitamin D," you could instead title the video "I Tried Being Nocturnal for a Year" or "I Only Slept During the Day for a Year," because that sounds a lot more enticing and interesting. Then, in the thumbnail, do a side by side. On one side, a picture of your character looking normally with the caption "Day 1." And on the other, a picture of your character looking sleep deprived, with the caption "Day 365." I think that would have wider appeal and would get this amazing video in front of more people
It was about seven months and the thumbnail is fine
@@DarrellHart713 Of course it is, just a suggestion. 7 months is a lot less eye catching than 1 year, and I'm not sure anyone would mind the difference as the content reflects it either way
@@SuperMustache555 A niche title is better than dishonesty
@@DarrellHart713 I don't think it's malicious dishonesty, but I understand the sentiment. We'll agree to disagree

Quite the epic video Mr. The Rabbit
Bruh you haven’t even watched the vid
6:23 is the brain flipping off the sun and Moon🤣
there really is no preparing yourself for not seeing the sun for several months in a row. peace degrades into painful isolation remarkably quickly. im finally awake during the days again and its absolutely surreal how happy the sun will make me.
The merch plugin was hilarious. Interesting new video style too. I personally don't really like the moving back and forth thing and like the other style better.
Con: ALONE
Me: I see this as an absolute win
Huge fan of Meal 1, 2 and 3. I can eat pancakes and waffles at any time of the day without judgement ha ha
Literally watching this during a 2am-8am desk shift. I felt this is my soul
Omg, that feeing the sun before bed is the truest thing ever
i have been on night shift for the past 5 years in wyoming working 6 PM to 6AM and honestly it doesn't bother me ive gotten used to it and actually enjoy having a ample amount of alone time. The main thing that pisses me off is that walmart screwed over night shift people by closing at 11pm now due to covid. I used to love going shopping at 2 am when there was hardly no one around but now walmart is always packed even right before closing.
This hits so hard during my time as a call center agent. People outside are singing videoke and having fun and you're annoyed that you need to sleep through all of that, and try not to sing along. Better not order anything online as the delivery guy will always come at an inconvenient time. And Family will drop by to give food from Sunday outings (which is nice) but you just wish to pick it up yourself at your own time.
Hey that sleep study specialist was a good idea! I'm studying to be a neuroscientist one day, and as I have a delayed sleep cycle, I was worried about finding a job that strats by noon or later. I could definitely specialize in sleep and work the evenings and nights. They would probably be okay with me giving lectures at noon, students would be more likely to show up too.
Watching this while on a nightshift, i think im one of those freaks of nature you talked about, id much rather be awake at night and asleep during the day. nights are so much more quieter and relaxed. also i fucking hate getting up in the morning so it suits me so much.
I love night shift soooo much I work at a grocery store and the satisfaction I get when a person is about to come in and I lock the door and I'm like
"Sorrryyyyy were closed🤗" it makes the fact that I look like I haven't seen the sun in years worth it
I work night shift in a retirement home atm. You making this video heals my soul. Incredibly accurate
Found this video randomly, but as someone who has worked graveyard shift the last 15 years (night grocery stocking) this video couldn’t ring more true. Especially the meal time one. I get such odd stares getting burgers at 7am xD
I get other people not liking night shift, but i love it. Most of your cons were pluses for me. But i am also lucky and my work shift starts at 10 so i have ample time to socialize from 5-9 and i make it a habit to get morning sun weekly with healthy walks, the sun does not affect me the same way as you. And I have always found im more productive in the night. Even when i was young. Ive never stuck to a meal schedule anyway and liked to eat ramen for breakfast sometimes. Appointments are really hard but most big name stores open at 6 when i get off so its easy enough to just shop right after work. And just amazon anything else i couldn't get from Walmart. Though i will say hopping out of bed to do something has always been a hasstle for me but ive had to do it my whole life so its natural, and i find im getting more sleep working night shift cause my productivity hours are at night and by the time im winding down i don't feel the need to stay on my phone all night. I like the alone time and the dark, its calming for my introvert ways and sense my social life has always been soo busy i find im needing less recharge time cause i get it at work or on my weekends.
Cons: being alone
I see this an absolute win
Tbh most of the cons you've listed I see as absolute win. I tried to change my sleep schedule for when I had a semester of almost exclusively 8 am classes in 2nd year of uni. It was probably my worst year in terms of sleeping. Idk, my body naturally switches to be active at night, so much so that when I don't have any early classes the next day, there's no chance I'm falling asleep before 4 am, unless I hapoen to feel super tired. That's why I dread the day I have to get a job and switch to early morning wake up schedule again. Even the day shift (12pm-10pm and such) sounds dreading because I always have a crisis during the afternoon and my body half-shuts down calling for a nap for no reason. Which is why I'd love to work during the night, also because some of my friends live across the ocean and I always have to stay up late to chat with them. And alone time at work? Frick yeah, nothing sounds worse than dealing with people at work.
I worked warehouse graveyard and this video hit so close to home, thanks for making this :)
About half of the cons are pros in my book tbh. I very much am nocturnal, my body does not like sunlight, so dark and going against a normal sleep schedule is very much up my alley. I didn't see the sun for a month straight late last year and I loved it
Damn I can relate to this. I only got a ten hour shift ending at 4am so I have it slightly better but I also don't have to deal with people much in manufacturing. I don't think I would have the patience at 3am for a annoying patient.
The productivity thing is really true. It's so hard to do anything
my natural sleep cycle seems to be 4am-12pm, i feel like a lot of the cons you listed apply to me when I'm trying to sleep early and get up at 6am for uni lmao
Pro 1: I'm pretty sure this applies to everyone

I do Night Shifts but as a Hotel Receptionist so it may be different, But working with good people and having no managers around are my best bits, although our hotel is massive and can get really stressful at times since the cut us down to 2 receptionists and 2 on bar, we're working overtime to get things done!
7:26 I never really followed that anyway.
"Breakfast" for me is just last night's dinner because reheating already cooked food is much easier and quicker then trying to actually cook.
My dad was able to flip his sleep schedule within a day. He did so every week, twice a week, for something like a couple DECADES. He worked night shift during the week Monday night through Thursday night, and spent time with us on the weekend (spending Friday flipping his schedule through strategic naps, Saturday + Sunday with us, and Monday flipping it back). He never understood when I complained about my sleep schedule getting out of control at the drop of a hat.
THE SEA RABBIT!!!! I LOVE UUUUUU!!!! Can’t wait to watch
CT tech here. Con #2 is the first reason why I told my management that I needed and extra day off. I work Mon thru Fri from 2000 to 0430. So on Sat I'm sleeping most of the day and I can barely get anything done on Sun because most businesses are closed. Fortunately I'm getting Mon off soon, so 4 on and 3 off. The second reason is I'm starting to lose my nerve with how much a hospital is dependent on CT. Being on night shift there's usually only two of us ... for the whole hospital. ER, waiting room, ICU, CDU, regular upstairs patients ... all of it. That's when you find out that a good number of docs are absolutely moronic on an astronomic scale.
Christ I feel you man, it fucks with the mental health too.
This video made me tired… I want to sleep😂. Great work as usual, really fun to watch!
Ah the return of the king 😌
I work night shifts so I feel some of these, but I tend to be a night owl and an introvert anyway and I'm pretty damn creative at night. I think appointments and family events are still a challenge, but at least take some vitamin D supplements to fix the deficiency.
My fiance started working night shift a few months ago. It has it's rough moments for sure, but the pay is certainly a help since we're trying to save for a house. Apartment living is not great for his schedule, especially once construction started next door so all through the day its heavy machinery noises, the whole building shakes sometimes. Hopefully in a couple years he'll have enough seniority to switch to days.
This is great thing to be watching when I'm feeling restless and staying up way to late for work tomorrow (on a regular day shift).
