i only had a nightshift job for a relatively short period of time, so my insight is minimal. personally, it mostly felt like being exhausted all the time, bcause the rest of my life refused to make any allowances for the adjustment in my sleep schedule. like, friends still only wanted to hang out when i should have been sleeping? same with setting up appointments, going shopping, etc etc.

otherwise, i felt like if that wasn’t the case, i would have been pretty happy with it. mostly because there were less people overall to interact with in my waking hours, which was nice.
