Andy Dufresne Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 My daughter did her first A&E nightshifts a few weeks ago and to say they were unusual will be an understatement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 On nightshift this week in my new job and it is fairly easy, 10-615. It isn't exactly quiet but their isn't any supervisors kicking about so I just get on with my own thing. On Sunday's we do a 12 hour shift, 6-615 and I done it hungover with hardly any sleep. It was brutal. I was that fucked, I had to stop off in a lay by on the way back to Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I started a new job about 2 months ago, it's back shift so it's 6-2. Found the first month hard to adjust to but love it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Got a job at Domino's whilst at uni because I'm skint, and it's brutal. Working 5pm til 7am on a Friday then 5pm to 5am on the Saturday. Although it's on the weekend it fucks up my sleeping pattern something rotten, which obviously isn't v. good for attending lectures etc. It's also minimum wage so only £5.13 an hour. Miserable scenes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I always thought you had to be paid more than NMW for working 'unsociable' hours? Nope. I'm sure it's at the company's discretion, it's just seen as the right thing to do. I get paid MW when I do nightshift too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrfields_Largs Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Been on nights for 7 months now and still not sure if I like it. I like the working pattern (3 on 4 off) but it's hard work and if your having a night where you've not had enough sleep it can be torturous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets you up to sleep the next day and don't sleep after your last shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I've never done a full night shift but I did work a back shift - 4 to 12pm. I actually quite liked it. I'm not really a morning person so I quite liked getting up about 9 or 10 and having a leisurely breakfast. Also when I do 9-5 I tended to come home tired, have dinner, lie around for a bit and then go to bed. When I worked back shift I'd usually go out during the day and do something before I started because I wasn't tired from work. Also with back shift your sleep pattern in basically the same and if anything better cos you can lie in a bit longer. The worst thing about it really was switching shifts leaving work at 11pm and having to be in the office again at 7am for a long day shift. That was brutal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It depends. I used to work in a restaurant and worked either 14:30-23:00 or 17:00-23:00. I would get home and probably stay up until three or four in the morning and waking up around eleven or twelve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
