Are you a "night owl"?

Only on Fridays, Saturdays and during vacation

Otherwise I prefer to be in bed by 10-11 pm for work in the morning

I've never had a night shift, I don't think I'd like it at all

Yes. I never want to go to bed at night, and I never want to get up in the morning!

I've actually worked night shift over the long term, and refused transfers to days because I can't face the stressful mornings that would involve*. The happiest I ever was with work hours was the desk job where I came in at 2PM and left at 10PM, I had no social life but those working hours totally agreed with my natural rhythms.



* No, I'm totally sober.

Yes. Partly due to my work schedule, and partly because by nature I always hated getting up early ever since I was a kid.

Over the course of my working life, I've worked midnight shift ( basically 2300 to 0700, but the start-end times varied an hour or so ) for about 14 years of it. The thing is, you have to make it work. By that I mean one must make getting enough rest ( say 8 hours a day ) a priority, by alloting time to it. The guys who were miserable were the ones who basically tried to stay up all day and just fit a few naps in; they were dragging ass all night long and surly. Sleeping during the day was possible for me once I established the routine. I used blackout blinds and covered my head with pillows. The light was the least of it. The noise was a challenge: mowers, barking dogs whatever. I used a white noise machine and often wore earplugs. I never put myself in a position where the phone would wake me. I had my neighbors "trained" well: If you knock on my door, the house better be on fire. I was able to get good rest and was on my game throughout the shift. Biggest challenge is transitioning to and from your days off.

My favorite hours are the afternoon shift, basically 1430 to 2300. I go to sleep when it's dark out, and wake when it's light, though I rise at about 10AM, feeling good. No alarm clocks needed. I like going to bed late and waking late. Most of my peers who are early risers are dead by 6 PM. I rarely see the sun rise, but enjoy many a good sunset.

Waking up early when it's still dark never made me feel anything other than pissed off and resentful.

I'm a night owl and a morning person. I just don't sleep.

Yes. It's 01:35 here, nuff said.

I can nap anytime 😊

Certainly. It has always been easy for me to stay up real late such as 3 or 4am as opposed to getting up at 5 or even 6am. That being said, I prefer to get up early in the morning as I get more done throughout the day. It's just easy for me to stay up late.

I am, I never want to go to bed at night, and I never want to get up in the morning! it's just the way I naturally am.

So I work night shift now (well, not NOW, I'm on medical leave after breaking my leg), and it's true that day sleep isn't as deep, long, or satisfying as night sleep, and most of my co-workers agree. But if I can catch up on sleep and crash for about ten hours once a week, then I'm okay overall.

As a natural night person, the best I ever felt was the temp job that went from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays, that totally agreed with my natural sleep cycle! I never felt so well-rested in my life.
