Sorry I can't help with the study ... But I know what you're going through. I had a swing shift like that for a while and it was rough. Only mine was 12 hour shifts, swinging from nights to days. The bad part was not getting any sleep. Just about the time you got used to it ... it was time to swing again. I finally brought it up at one of our shift meetings, so they voted right then, and it was unanimous. No one wanted the swing shift. \n\nMaybe you could get them to take a poll or vote like that, to show them no one wants it.

I think everyone is a little afraid of being alone at night.  I always sleep on the couch when I'm alone.  Then, I leave extra lights on and the TV on.  That helps me feel less alone.  Could you not go stay with someone else?

I'm not going to pretend that I know what it is like to do the 7 on 7 off schedule, but the transition from day to night is rough. I invested in those room darkening blinds ($10 at Walmart) and stole a pair of ear plugs from the factory I worked for. If you're in a factory, you probably agree that the industrial ear plugs are good enough that you don't hear the trash man outside, but weak enough that you can hear the alarm. The new blinds didn't make my room pitch black at night, but it helped. As far as switching the schedules, try to push yourself on Friday (or whatever your last work day is) to not go to sleep until anywhere from 8-10 that night. It'll wear you out enough that you won't be up before the crack of dawn. You'll also get enough sleep that you can enjoy the weekend "properly". Also, try to get on a sleep schedule as soon as possible. If you stick to the same schedule everyother week your body will get more used to it quicker. ie. don't stay up til noon one day and get in bed at 8 the next.

That's so true....quite an enigma! I always say my dad gets up to turn on the traffic lights......you'd think now that they've retired they would sleep in, but no, it's up at the crack of dawn.....really, really weird...♥

You could just be in fear of someone doing that. I would suggest getting a screen for that window if you think it would help you sleep better at night, and not wake up with these feelings. There are other things you need to ask yourself: How comfortable are you in your neighborhood, Are you in a high crime area? These are things to think about. They could be feuling your anxiety about someone breaking into your house.

I lived in a haunted house for about four years. A guest who stayed the night in a room on the third floor said she woke up in the middle of the night and saw this white shadow that slowly changed shaped into a skeleton. That room always gives me the creeps.

I work the graveyard shift and had a hard time adjusting at first. I hard a hard time sleeping in the day. I put a very heavy quilt over my bedroom window to keep it nice and dark. I also turned the ringer off on my telephone so I wouldn't be bothered with phone calls. I put a sign on my front door of my house that said "Please do not disturb". It will probably take a week or so to get used to your new shift. Those things worked well for me.

i've worked night shift since graduating from high school (except for the period of time when i was in the army), i don't have any trouble, it's become normal for me, just be sure to get plenty of rest, exercise and good nutrition, it can be difficult on your days off to sleep at night, you just have to adjust your timing, don't sleep too much on your first day off so you will be tired when it is time for sleep, you'll get the hang of it.

Hello, yes i work night shift, i am a RN and i work in the emergency room.\nYes its a little slower at times, but this time of year the flu and other viruses are around so that makes for many, many patients.  And there are fewer staff so there is more work to do, Yes usually there is a shift diff, so the pay is more....I hope this answers your questions

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?

I would have to say no. I used to have nightmares alot when I was little and now I have to sleep with some sort of light on, TV, nightlight, lamp, something or they will reoccur.

When I was younger I lived in house with a ghost... I Always heard weird stuff and my belongings would be moved around. I never really knew the house was hunted untill after we moved out my father was talking about it.I was shocked other vistors also said they had experinces like mine and some even closer incounters. I rember at night i would here something and get so secard I would freez and not move till i fell a sleep and woke up the next day. I would hear people walking and no one would be there. come to find out the ghost was pretty nice. I think it was girl.
