I have been working nights for 5 years now. I work mon-thurs 6pm-6am. I often have a hard time explaining to people that it makes time feel compressed. Like, day shift people get to potentially do things after work, see friends/family, run errands, go do anything. Where my work week is a blur, just work sleep work sleep. So then the weekend, I have to cram my entire life into those 3, realistically 2.5 days since Iāll sleep till 4/5 on Fri. Itās like I donāt have 7 days in a week. Itās 4 one long endless work day followed by 2 days of life, 1 day to rest then boom repeat.
Itās hard to articulate to people how bizarre and often depressing it is. Not having anything to mark the day as āoh Tuesday this happenedā Iām like idk man it was all work I couldnāt say whether it was Wednesday or Monday.
Has anyone else felt this?
I have worked 6 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day for 6 yrs with only 20 days off excluding sundays my sense of time is shot I never know what day it is most the time
