You did your first night shift having been up since 8am? Schoolboy error.
I work nights, I love it, could not do days! Wake up at 1pm pretty much everyday and manage to get so much done that none of my mates can who work till 5pm or later

I suppose it's something you get used too. I get up for a piss at about 10am usually, I can have a conversation with my Mum, read my post and then still fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow again until 1pm!

The trick is to stay up late as fuck the night before your first shift. I'm split shift this week, two days, off Tomorrow, then two 7-7 nights. Much prefer nightshift!

Not so good when the director asks for a close up

I've only ever done one night shift. It was brilliant, I had to do a run down to Devon and back so set off at half 7 on a Sunday night and got home at around half 5 Monday morning. It did help with it being the weekend though because I had from Friday night to play with my sleep so had a late one Friday then it was about 5 o'clock on the Sunday morning when I went to bed, slept till 1ish then I was good to go.
