How late is too late to stay up after work?

Girl, I am in the same boat. I work days and then P/T at night. My honey works Night shift. When he comes home, I go to work. When I get home he's already gone to work. We only have small amounts of time to share, and sometimes it gets real tough.\nYou need to sit down and TALK. It's important to share your feelings with him. Tell him you love him and miss him. Make some special time, and rediscover the passion.  LOL to you.

The only time I would have a problem with you is if somebody complaints about you or I thought somebody may have complaints that is not said. If the official starting time is 7 and if nobody else but you are late, it's hard to say it's okay to be late because you are doing a good job. Because if somebody else who are not doing good jobs start coming in late, I have to say to him it's not okay for him because his job is not as good. Then, I have to come up with whole new rules of what you have to do in order to come in late. So, as long as everybody is cool about your coming late, I have no problem.

Ask nicely, and offer to make the time up; work through lunch, come in early, stay late another night.  It helps, of course, if you've been a excellent employee.

Of course. Look to the notheast after midnight for the next few nights and be patient; depending how dark your sky is you may only see a few an hour.

I'm sorry to hear this, and think that management is quite inconsiderate for doing it in such a way.\n\nNo, I don't think anyone can go to sleep as soon as they get home--need time to unwind.  You'll probably wind up with little, if any, sleep.\n\nAgain, I'm sorry.

You don't say how long you've been at the job you mentioned, but a change in sleep pattern is normal when we adjust the time of day we sleep.  Sometimes it can take a couple of months to get used to a new schedule.  Try setting an alarm and getting up at a certain time (say 8-9 hours) each day after you work.  Eventually you'll establish a pattern, and not feel so dragged out.

I think you're getting UP too late.  \n\nIf you need 6 hrs. sleep, you're body won't start thinking about sleep until 18 hrs. after you last woke up (8:30AM).  Try getting up at a more normal time...say 6 or 6:30AM.  You could use the extra AM time to exercise (good for the body) or answer a few YA questions (good for the mind) or prepare for your workday (good for the career).\n\nI guarantee you that after a few days of this forced regimen you'll be ready for sleep by 11PM or so.

Only if you actually do something with your day, besides answering questions!\n\nFirst, there are some serious considerations to your questions  Here goes:::::\n\nFirst Genetic predisposition to disease cannot be stopped regardless if you go to bed early and/or rise early.\nSecond, you might go to bed early and get up early, but you actually need to do something with your time.\n\nA better colloquialism I like is No man ever got anywhere working a forty hour week.  Meaning people usually get out of life what they put into it.  If you work for someone else, you will likely NEVER get wealthy, thus you HAVE to find something on the side to make yourself wealthy.  In this case, getting "your rest" is important for the undertaking of extra time to get rest.  \n\nGetting 'wise' comes from experiencing life, so if you sleep TOO much you may not accumulate too much 'wisdom' lol.\n\nOf course, none of that 'saying' is true all the time, thus, you have to do your best and hope the cards you are dealt, allow you to play them to the fullest.\n\nFinally, wealth might be considered having a modest amount of money, a great marriage, healthy and happy kids, loving where you live, generally, being happy with your life, MIGHT qualify as the richest person on the block!

9 hours is actually a very healthy amount to sleep. If you can, why not? 6 hours is too little

God I hope not. I work 11PM-7:30 AM, in a hospital pharmacy of all places. I have been on nights for about 2 and a half years now. I have had cervical cancer but that was caused by something else. \n\nI know people on night shifts get sicker more. It's not normal to sleep during the day and be up all night. Working nights does cause abnormal sleep patterns, poor eating habits, and being stressed more often.

Well, yes. But there are a lot of people that do it when they go out weekends. Try my work schedule. I work tue-thurs 8am-4pm and fri/sat from 11pm to 7am!\nI'm all messed up!! Seems you should be getting enough sleep though. Nine hours weekdays and ten hours on the weekend is pretty good! If thats a regular pattern bodies tend to adjust after while.

You can only catch up on lost sleep by about 2-2.5 hours a night.  Then only for a few nights in a row.  Trying to make it up all at once will leave you groggy.

5am-1.30pm is definately the best hours to work as people are at their best and most effecient in the morning.Just think you would be out of there (work)early enough to do any personal things you need to get done e.g shopping, grab a movie or late lunch with friends etc. You have hours to spend as you wish, Socialising is easiest at a time when most people also have free time (after work 4.00pm - 5.30pm). Even if you go to bed at 9.30pm -10.00pm you still get enough sleep to function through the next day. Your internal clock is on days so this is better for the weekends also (you wake early and make the most of your days off) As you have already done the shopping etc one afternoon on way home from work you have weekend fully to do what you want! Don't forget the weekend will start at 1.30pm friday also this is nearly as good as a long weekend especially if you like to go away. You leave straight from work and you are all set up and ready to have a great time by Friday night.\n\n2.30 -11.pm is the worst time nothing happening at this late hour when you finish work most people are asleep and sleep is usually couple of hours away for you as you have still to wind down, making it 1-2am before getting to bed therefore you sleep most of next day and have to get up only to go to work again. The weekends are all about shopping and catching up with people leaving no time for anything else, not to mention your internal clock is on nightwatch so you tend to sleep through the day and be a bit of a night owl on weekends as well. This is ok as long as all your friends are the same.\n\nif given a choice i would definately choose the morning shift. However it does depend on a lot of personal preferences, habits and the external influences of people in your life around you.
