[QUOTE="cvrx4, post: 2538566, member: 4174"] I started out on days. I worked 6 am to 230 pm. I had a thirty minute commute. I had to be up around 5 am everyday. I hated it, I was always tired. I would almost fall asleep at my work station around 9am or so. I would have to yell at myself on the way home and more than once almost ran off the road. I would get home and try to take a nap before my wife got home but when she woke me up around 530 pm all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. It caused real issues in our marriage I was always tired. My director asked me to pick up a night shift one night to cover for someone that was gone on vacation. I LOVED IT. It was easu for me to stay up all night and then drive home the next morning. I have never once fallen asleep on night shift and I have gotten less sleep. I have been on nights for over 8 years now. I have had ample oppurtunity to go back to days in a supervisory position but have not done it. My wife worries if I ever go back to that schedule. The only real issue is going to sleep at nights I am off and if I have to do something around 9 or 10 am. Other than that I am good to go. It just feels more natural to me. I am not sure why.
