So im Going to start working 3rd shift, and was wondering who else on here works it? Got any tips on how to get used it? How do you like it?

 

10-6?

 

Its 10-7

 

I worked that shift for a while when I was in the military. I liked it. Got to see the sun come up every day when I got off work

 

Recently I have done 10pm to 6:30am at the San Diego airport, and while I hated it while I was doing it..I kind of missed it in a wierd way when I finished.
Its kind of nice and calm at night...
I recomend sleeping right when you get home for 6 or so hours..Melatonin with some valerian root would help me fall asleep..Good Luck

 

I work 6pm-6am. Monday thru thursday nights. Most of the time dont get out till 7am.

 

Yeah im not a morning person at all, so seeing the sun coming up is def going to be fun to see.

Yeah thats exactly what i was going to do, come home and sleep till about 1 or 2pm. funny you mentioned melatonin, i already take that to sleep. But never heard of the valerian root. Might have to try that. Im also getting some blackout curtains, the sun comes right into my room in the morning for a nice GTFO of bed signal

That doesnt sound fun at ALL. Atleast you get to party on weekends tho LOL

 

Lots of good reasons for nights. I get fridays, saturdays and sundays off and most of monday. No one in the front office, just us 3 mechanics so its laid back and ur not under pressure. Also get alot of over time. I do hate the fact i miss out on alot of after work activites my friends do

 

Good luck with that Bruce , I can barely stay awake till 9:00 pm lol

I have worked it before and like said its less hectic at night so that's a plus .

Go home in the morn , rub one out and you"ll be ready to sleep

 

LMAO
