And do not, under any circumstances, take a job that involves night shifts. This shit should be illegal.
While true for most professions this obviously doesn’t apply to firefighters, emergency medical technician (EMTs), nurses, trauma surgeons, police, weather forecasting, et cetera. Basically all professions where human lives are on the line require night shifts. The crucial part is that people who want to do night shifts should only need to do night shifts as to have a healthy sleeping pattern. Anything preventing people from having a decent sleeping cycle against their will should be illegal.

Am an AEMT (advanced EMT). Work night shift. LOVE that shit. Hate the fact that the rest of the world insists on only existing dayside, so I have to get up during the day for appointments and school. I can’t have a sleep schedule because people don’t see an issue with making me do things at noon. How would they like it if I made them do shit at 2am?
Night shift is great. Life is better when the sun isn’t burning my retinas off and 90% of the population is sound asleep in their beds. I get to be in the earlier stages of my day as the sun is setting and ending it as the sun is rising, and that’s cool as shit. The best feeling ever is driving home as morning rush hour is starting and everyone is grumpy on their way to work and I’m on my way home to my nice comfy bed to sleep in peace.
