I work 2300-0700. What is this seven hour shift you speak of?!

Does "graveyard shift" mean night shift or did you work in graveyard?

It makes you feel so wasted being around sober people. Or maybe it's that being around other people who are wasted numbs you to it

lol my first professional job had me on the overnight bus network (lovingly called the Vomit Comet) at 5 am. It was typically full of people who were drunk or high but they were tired so there was no trouble. Everyone minded their own business and we lived in peace.

I wish I could have said the same for the pre-game crowd when I was coming home from jobs that ended 9 pm or later.

Fuck night shifts. I worked nights for 11 months. 2 weeks off wasn't enough time for me to readjust. There were a couple of weeks during winter where I didn't see sunlight at all.

5AM is spot on in my (foolish) experience when I was younger. I have many fun nights still barely going at 5AM and I also had jobs where I got up at 4:45AM to beat the traffic for a long commute.

IMO, it's between 4:00 and 4:30am is the cutoff between days.

Bold of you to assume my latest bedtimes and earliest mornings don't overlap :p

If I had to guess for me it's 7 or 8 am

About 5 pm for me. My shift is 10 pm till 6 am 5 days a week. And I try to stick to a 1 pm till 8 pm sleep schedule. But it is always interesting seeing people at 4-5 am and trying to guess whether they are knocking off or starting work.

2-3 am unfortunately

Oh my lord, and grandma (my mom) comes by during the day and then I get an earful that the teenager sleeps all day it can't be good for him.

Actually it's convenient for me because at least his grumpy self is awake when I am home. He's playing online all night with his tween nephews, his half sister has a new baby so technically he is free babysitting his nephews all night every night till 4am so she can sleep and worry about her newborn most of the day while they are crashed out.

I'm gonna start throttling the internet at 1am, then midnight, then 11 two weeks before school starts.

I sent to a wedding and there were some college kids there who said they were going out after the ceremony if I wanted to come. It got later and I thought they'd changed plans but it rolled around to 10 and they said they were heading out. I went to bed. They woke up at 2 the next afternoon

Same, but I'm the one going to bed at 5am lol

I work an office job, but I tend to sleep 1 or 2 hours early in the evening and then stay up till 2 or 3 am. It's not really healthy, but it does give me more time to enjoy the quiet of night.

I did shift work for years, and it has done permanent damage

I get up at 0430 for work now, and people ask how I cope with the early start, but it's infinitely better than what I used to do!

I don’t think this meme is talking about night shift, so much as partiers and such.

Watch are you afraid of the dark instead
