Yay!!!! I have survived my first week of nights! Since I last posted i worked Wednesday night and Thursday night, and they have worked out better. I think my body got into the routine, with working two consecutive nights. I would sleep most of the mornings, get up at lunch time and have some breakfast, do neccessary jobs in the afternoon and go to work in the evening. Mostly during the night i was fairly awake, although I found that after my break, during which i slept, I was more tired than before it. I think once you've had some sleep, your body wants more. The breaks are supposed to be an hour long, but when you lie down on comfy seats in a dark room and go to sleep and do not set an alarm, it is very difficult to wake up after 1 hour. i kept on waking up much too late, but I don't think they really minded because it was still really quiet and as a student I am supernumary. Last night it was quite good - i took my essay work with my and managed to get a fair bit done because it was so quiet.
Anyway, its back to day shifts now - my next one is on Sunday, and I need to get my essays all finished before then, because they are due in on Tuesday and I'm working Sunday and Monday. No rest for the wicked, hey!
