Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?

I do 12 hour shifts, 3 days on 3 off then 4 on 4 off pay periods. The 3 days off don’t feel like enough so I don’t know how people work with 2 days off. 12 hour shifts do make it hard to do anything when I get home though.

It’s almost like the medical shift system was designed by a coke addict…

I did that shift for just under a year, 6pm to 6am. Because it was overnights, first day of your weekend was shot catching up on sleep, and it was tough to do anything on the last one knowing work was coming up. But those 4-day weekends every other week were definitely nice.

  I did the over night shift for 3 or 4 years. Those were lost years for sure. Its been much better doing 6am to 6pm. I still need the first day off to just relax, but it doesn’t feel like a wasted day anymore. Just a lazy one.
