Had a night shift for 5 years. I will never be able to sleep normal again. A decade after leaving my brain still has issues keeping a regular schedule, I get random bouts of sleepiness in the middle of the day. And when stressed my brain refuses to sleep some nights.
for me I’ve always been a night owl so night shift works fantastic for me, my only gripe is how much shit I’ve still got to do during normal business hours to function like a human being. Banks, doctors appointments, grocery shopping – fuck, once I was even called into a mandatory all-staff workplace meeting at 11AM despite working the overnight shift there and being between shifts the day of. Absolute madness, I want to yank some of these people out of their bed at 3AM and ask them to function.

It was pretty chill while doing it, though.
