It's a well established fact that changing shift patterns are really really bad for your health.

Night shift workers especially are much more likely to have problems with their hearts than workers on a standard pattern for example.

Unfortunately for myself I do on-call work, so I can do my standard hours, then be expected to work as required overnight, on weekends, anytime they need me. I hate it.

Mine is a reall wiered shift pattern. 10 or 12 hour days or nights.

Night shift should be banned it isn’t healthy

It's just for whores & burglars.

Maths ,English, computer studies
I was brilliant at Art but schools didn't really bother looking for people's natural abilities back then . Never played a musical note either then learnt an instrument a year after leaving

My new job has involves shift patterns that include 10 and 12 hr night shifts. Just finished a run of 4 straight 10hr nights. Got up at 5pm Sunday, and still awake now. I work that out to be 31hrs, and I still feel wide awake.
Anyone else work strange hours, and fuck about with normal sleep?

I do but I only do 2 days 2 nights so it's nothing really, I do wonder what day it is though

Arguably both those occupations could also operate on day shifts too.

Being constantly on call, my butler, Lurch, is struggling with his sleep. I've bought him a rocky chair and an alarm clock. Don't know what more i can do.

It’s the only chance both parties can get together.

Win win .

I do 6 12 hr nights currently on my new shift pattern Sun - Fri night . Don't sleep that could during the week go to bed 8.30 up at 12 ish. Currently have no trouble sleeping when pattern is finished like. Once had to do a full month of nights about 10 years ago , Don't think i could or would do it now.

I missed out completely on developing my musical skills at school. They never even knew I could play guitar. I studied mostly classical music like Mussorgsky.

I will never do nights again unless there was a danger of loosing my house
