Shift Work = No Life?
Friday, September 5th, 2008
Help! Thanks to Brown, our team is doing double duty for the foreseeable future - the morning show and afternoon drive shift! Jeff actually took too many vacation days (shocking, I know) and now he owes the company time. We start on Monday and I’m not mentally prepared at all.
I’ve done shift work before - 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. - and the hardest part was figuring out when to exercise and how not to eat bad stuff because you’re too tired to prepare anything and it’s too easy to just grab a doughnut. I’m hoping to split my sleep up equally, like 4 hours during the day and 4 at night, but I don’t know if that’s even healthy or how my body will react.
Have you ever worked the night shift? Do you have any advice? What worked for you and what didn’t? Your thoughts are welcome by clicking on the No Comments/Comments link below. Today’s Jack Nation bonus code is SLEEPLESSINTORONTO. It’s valid until September 8th.
