People Who Work Night Shifts Are Sharing Things “Day Shifters” Don’t Understand

“Along the same lines, do not wake me up ‘just for a few minutes’ in the middle of the day. I can sleep through a lot. It is much harder to fall back asleep when all the activity of the day is going on. 

I do not expect neighbors to adjust their schedule to mine. But if you know you are going to be doing construction or something loud during the day, it is nice if you give me a heads up. Frankly, with the number of people who now work from home, I think this should be considered common courtesy at this point. 

I actually prefer night schedules. I do not like the sun, I like that it is calmer, and although it sucks to get up at noon on my days off to do things like doctor’s appointments, it is still easier than trying to take time off from a nine-to-five job.”
