    When I was on crew, I worked 2 days, 2 swings, then 2 nights, followed by 4 days off... It was a pretty nice schedule, but the constant changing never allowed your internal clock to adjust to anything.

    And I agree with the internal clock never getting used to the changes. Most nights I can't fall asleep until midnight and get up around 8am when my Fiancee goes to work. A few coworkers though stay on night shifts, they go to bed around 3-4am and wake up around noon. Then again, those coworkers are married to each other, so that makes it easier for them to stay on the same schedule.

    Yeah, I'm in a new neighborhood, so there is construction all around me. Sure makes it hard to sleep during the day...

    I did that in the Mil in Germany in the 80's when we were under staffed, hated it. When fully staffed it was 12 hour shifts, 4 on days, 4 off, 4 on nights, 4 off, etc. Loved it.

    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
