AIBU to ask for your night shift positives?

Back on nights again tomorrow and although they are never as bad as I build them up to be, I'm looking for some upsides!

I'll start....

  • going to bed on a wintery day when the rest of the world is just heading to work
  • Monday morning lie in
  • work is quieter, just essential work to be done, less people about
  • finishing a shift and dozing off to Netflix with a big cup of tea
  • post last night shift breakfast with other night shift mates if shift patterns line up!

Obviously a lot of people have DCs to wake them up so I do realise I am quite lucky in some respects as I can just worship sleep when I'm at home. Gets lonely though.

Thanks for the responses.

Well that night shift was actually fine...felt fine to drive home this morning but did have a really gross cheese and ham croissant which I just need to stop!

Woke up just now in the dark feeling Sad. Gonna take some nice teabags and some weetabix in tonight for a healthier breakfast!
