If I could stay up all night and sleep at day it would fix me

If they’re anything like me, it would be heaven at first, then they’d slowly adjust back to normal. It’s a circadian rhythm issue tied to sun levels

Ah, yeah now that’s a big brain strategy there
me and my crazy ex
I’m both…
Me on public transport going home from tha club, surrounded by people on their way to work… A very sobering experience…
lol my first professional job had me on the overnight bus network (lovingly called the Vomit Comet) at 5 am. It was typically full of people who were drunk or high but they were tired so there was no trouble. Everyone minded their own business and we lived in peace.
I wish I could have said the same for the pre-game crowd when I was coming home from jobs that ended 9 pm or later.
It makes you feel so wasted being around sober people. Or maybe it’s that being around other people who are wasted numbs you to it
I always felt that they are still wasted, just in another way. They’re recently awake, on the way to work that for the vast majority isn’t something they’re excited about. They’re drained and don’t want to be there. I always thought I’d much rather choose my position in those moments than theirs. And I’m sure at least some see us (in this situation) and are envious.
I’ve worked both shifts. Night is definitely less tightly wound, on average. Both are caffeinated, so that’s not it. Career night shift usually day sleep 8hrs so that’s not it either.
I don’t think this meme is talking about night shift, so much as partiers and such.
I used to work a graveyard shift from 11pm to 6am. The first wave of morning workers were typically tradies in hi-viz, driving bright white vans. I used to think of them as a glowing army sent to scare off the walking dead clubbers who were still stumbling around.
I work 2300-0700. What is this seven hour shift you speak of?!
18:45-07:15 for me :(
It was more like 2230-0630 because of overlapping handover, but that’s when I was officially on duty.

They said tradie, if this is to be believed, the drugs have probably already availed them.
Does “graveyard shift” mean night shift or did you work in graveyard?
It means overnight shift, usually 10pm to 6am
huh, TIL a necromancer doesn’t necessarily fuck the undead but simply raises them from it.
Oh Jesus! Look here. You’re thinking of necroPHILIA. A necroPHILIAC. Don’t do honest necromancers like this! Some of us just out here trying to make a living in the dark arts son!
Someone has to make sure they stay down.
You actually work a shifter in the graveyard, shifting tombs n stuff /j
I never watched the Goosebumps TV show, was it any good?
Watch are you afraid of the dark instead
I went to office at 0600 today because of the weather.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
That roller coaster is great though
Those of us who’ve been up for a few hours at 6 are a mix of both
Working rotating shifts and seeing and being both in just the space of a few weeks is a new level of misery.
I did shift work for years, and it has done permanent damage
I get up at 0430 for work now, and people ask how I cope with the early start, but it’s infinitely better than what I used to do!
Yeah fixed working hours are better, did a year of rotating between just 2 shifts and even that was better than rotating between 3 shits.
My circadian rhythm is a myth. Most people quit within few years due to some health related issues and those who have managed to handle it longer just become alcoholics to mask health issues.
Here’s a question I thought of to ask people at parties: what is the time of night (or day I suppose) where you’re just as likely to be staying up late as to be getting up early? In other words, sort of the midpoint between your latest bedtimes and earliest mornings. I think mine would be around 5 AM.
2-3 am unfortunately
Bold of you to assume my latest bedtimes and earliest mornings don’t overlap :p
It was routinely lunchtime (if at all) back in my party days
About 5 pm for me. My shift is 10 pm till 6 am 5 days a week. And I try to stick to a 1 pm till 8 pm sleep schedule. But it is always interesting seeing people at 4-5 am and trying to guess whether they are knocking off or starting work.
IMO, it’s between 4:00 and 4:30am is the cutoff between days.
The Witching Hour
5AM is spot on in my (foolish) experience when I was younger. I have many fun nights still barely going at 5AM and I also had jobs where I got up at 4:45AM to beat the traffic for a long commute.
If I had to guess for me it’s 7 or 8 am
My roommate works graveyard. I naturally wake up at 4am.
There’s been many weird catch-up conversations in the kitchen when our paths cross lol

Gotta get quality time in where we can, right? Haha that sounds lovely honestly :)
This describes my interactions with my son during the summer.
Oh my lord, and grandma (my mom) comes by during the day and then I get an earful that the teenager sleeps all day it can’t be good for him.
Actually it’s convenient for me because at least his grumpy self is awake when I am home. He’s playing online all night with his tween nephews, his half sister has a new baby so technically he is free babysitting his nephews all night every night till 4am so she can sleep and worry about her newborn most of the day while they are crashed out.
I’m gonna start throttling the internet at 1am, then midnight, then 11 two weeks before school starts.
smart
You might be my dad
Go to bed!
No chance 😝
I sent to a wedding and there were some college kids there who said they were going out after the ceremony if I wanted to come. It got later and I thought they’d changed plans but it rolled around to 10 and they said they were heading out. I went to bed. They woke up at 2 the next afternoon
I’m in my 40s now but boy oh boy when I was in my 20s->early 30s sunrise meant it was time to think about where I was going for the after-party
Workweek is left side, weekend right side (if drinking)
