They ask me to stop . <| sep |> Isn ' t that 5 centimetres per second ? <| sep |> What a copypasting cunt . <| sep |> Especially compared to American Empire , so it isn ' t really a stylistic thing . <| sep |> I ' ve worked night shift a lot . Like . Half of my adult careers . I ' m currently working nights now too . All the time for the military , with no other concerns at all on deployment ? It was cake . Felt no different running days or nights . and I still got plenty of sunshine out there . Here at home trying to live a life is a bit of a different story . It IS going to be more stressful , but there ' s ways around it . For me , as a nurse , my job is muuuuch more pleasant at night than during the day . And the pay is better . But here ' s what I do I work 12 hour shifts . which means I only work 3 days a week . On my ondays I only get a minimum amount of sleep . I don ' t sleep in . I get up , and see the sun for a bit before it goes down , especially in winter time where there ' s only 12 hours left by the time I wake up . Any adultlike errands that are earlymorning prone I do after my third shift as soon as I get off . so 8 am I am at the DMV , or at a doctor ' s appointment , etc . This way , during my offdays I ' m not having to wake up early to get something done . I group my days together , so I try my hardest not to split the week up . This gives me 35 days off together depending on when in the week I ' m working . On my 1 st offday , I take a good 4 hour nap , then wake up and move around a bit and don ' t go to bed until 12 am . I continue to run a teenagerstyle schedule , waking up at 911 am and going to bed at 23 am . This way I ' m awake during a functional part of the day , but not too early , and I don ' t fall asleep too much longer after my BF either . I ' m already winding down and reading by the time he ' s going to sleep . Running things this way , it ' s been manageable . but even then , I ' m not giving this career more than 5 years total . I do want to be a dayshifter eventually . There are some benefits to night shift though . Like , for example , if you ' re at a party you ' re not going to be the one wimping out at midnight . I wouldn ' t be able to stay awake past 10 pm if I worked my job on a dayshift schedule . Also , while I don ' t really see my BF during work days since he ' s working days , I get to focus on work those work days , and get some metime as well . it gives both of us some space , so that we ' re ready and happy to hang out when I ' m done working . When I work on the days he ' s working anyways , it ' s really no big deal at all . Also , like I said before , I get a lot of errands done super early that I would otherwise despise doing . Stopping by the DMV at 7308 am is muuuch better than at 910 am . A lot of doc appointments open up early morning because people don ' t want to go that early . When I can coordinate the things I need to get done with my work week , it makes my offdays feel even better because I ' ve been productive during my work days . I ' m not gonna lie , if you ' re in a high stress job , night shift will eat at you . but for me ? It ' s chill enough that I can do this for a few years before I really start feeling it .
