Why does the complete set of Series 1, last only 23 hours & 54 minutes!
I started at 14:00. It was just a looooooong day!Right,I got you now .
I did 4 years of night shift and it was a killer.
My weekends began to feel like any other day of the week.

Night shifts are very bad news. My partner retired a month and a half ago and is still not settled into any kind of normal sleep pattern. He wasn't doing nights, but 'earlies' - having to get up at 4 am. I'm so lucky. I go to bed at 1 am (or so) and get up at 10 am (or so). And then I can do more or less what I wish. Retirement is wonderful! Sometimes I wake up in the night but I have strategies for getting back to sleep. - mainly working out recipes and menus in my head.

Nice and sleazy does it every time!Sneaking it in
As most of the last 20 years has involved transport for supermarkets, either as driver or transport manager, I have never done a 'normal' shift pattern.
I was on 03:00 starts for 7 years, then 04:00/06:00 for 5 years.
As manager, I was on rotating 8 hour shifts, earlies, lates and nights, then 4on4off alternating day and night 12 hour shifts, 06:00 or 18:00 starts.
I now do 'lates' 13:30 to 15:00 start times and rarely have to set my alarm clock.
And, as to celebrate an early finish today, I'm having a glass of wine and a Hot cross Bun..
