how many here work nightshift and switch back and forth on your days off?
i've been doing that for about 2 years now and i sometimes wonder what the long term effect might be. it's been really rough at times.

From all of the web based info I've found changing shifts is not a good practice since it can be harder on the individual getting use to the changes than getting use to the goofy hours/schedule.
I work graveyards at a hospital where they don't rotate shifts and everybody is pretty okay with it. -

Thanks for chiming in, I pretty much figured the tribe was dead.
With some luck, I'll shortly be off graveyard shift. I put in a transfer to a different dept to get off graves. After 3 years of it, I've
had enough. Within a month or so I should be a human being again !!! -

And good luck with that *human* stuff.

( I really do acknowledge that shift work isn't for everybody, but couldn't resist - sorry. ) -
