Peace and quiet, no distractions
Even if I’m at home, there’s other stuff going on during the day. At night everyone’s asleep, no noise or messages or anything.
I love it, but I have delayed sleep phase disorder. I’m a natural night owl. I feel the most awake at like 1 am. I love the fact that it’s cooler, darker, and quieter, and I feel like the most interesting people come out at night.
But I mostly work days, because that’s how to get promoted, sadly.
I don’t know if I have the same disorder, but I definitely feel this. It’s so much nicer at night. A lot of people fuck up their sleep schedule on the weekends. I keep the weekends the same as my work week and have no problems being sleepy.
But I’m considering applying for a new position at my organization which will mean I have to shift back to days. I’m not sure if the promotion is worth the headache of early mornings and the commute.
The key is, if you take like 2 weeks off work, and sleep/wake whenever you want, what times do you tend towards?
Nights absolutely. With 2 weeks off, I easily stay up till 5 in the morning without even realizing it’s that late. I’ve always found it hard to sleep at 10pm like other people, and I won’t start get tired until 3am.
Unfortunately the shift I’m on right now is 12 hour shifts, which means I’m up till 8-10am. Which is a little later than I like, but I still feel better than waking up at 6am. Working 6am-6pm is way rougher on me than 6pm-6am
It’s amazing, like living under an enchantment. Everything just sounds different, the colors are more muted, the temperatures are brighter. Given my druthers, I’d be fully nocturnal.
Only issue I had was my day not lining up with other people or businesses. 24 hour grocery stores are wonderful however.
Its like another world
