I used to be a UPS box smasher. I did 10pm-4am shift and typically went to sleep around 5:30-7:30 and got up at 2. It went well for me. I did this for 14-15 months.

I don't have that job anymore and it's been 4 months, I can't get off that sleeping pattern. I fix it and go to sleep at 9 or 10 pm if I'm ever able, and I just wake up at 2:30 because my body thought it was a nap.

I get so tired typically when I try to stay up to 10 pm through midday and have to sleep or else my depression gets worse, and even if I don't sleep I just wake up at 4 am anyways.

How to fix fucked sleep pattern? I'm trying to get back to normal work schedule.

I used to alternate between 11pm-7am, 3pm-11pm and 6.30am-3pm shifts as a casual at a hospital until I got a regular 9-5.

I basically just stayed past what should have been my bedtime to get used to a new sleep schedule. eg. switching from a 11pm shift to a 6.30am starting shift meant getting home at 7 in the morning after work and staying up all the way until around 11pm at night.

Oh and not being depressed probably works lmao

tru, hoping Alex Jones's vitamins will help with that.

In seriousness what amount of sleep per night sated you?

I consistently sleep about 6 hours a night. Weekends I sleep about 8

I agree with this anon. 6 is bare minimum to function, 8 is luxurious overkill. But just remember, too much sleep is just as bad as too little, especially when trying to establish sleep patterns.

t. faggot with a 12 hour swing shift night job 3 nights a week

I take about 8. This is what doctors recommended to me.
When I was working 12 hours a day I took about 10 as it's what I needed. I let my body take as much sleep as it needs unless I have something to go do.

I'm in ugc moderation now and we have pretty much the same shifts and I aproove that this is legit. If however you have night shifts you're better off sleeping after and before shift, as to give your brain max dark time, if possible.
