Reply to comment by InTheEndEntropyWins in Study demonstrates that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is associated four independent factors: sleep quantity/quality the night before, physical activity the day prior, a breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast. by the_phet

I was the first person in my family to break the night shift cycle. Both grandparents, parents and my siblings work night shift. I did for 10 years too but now I’m on days. 5yrs later I’m still waking up at 3am with a bedtime of 9pm and it feels weird everyday still. It is not hard for me to wake up, lastest I’ll get out of bed any day is about 5. Thankfully I can go to work whenever so I get to work about 430am and leave at 6pm and that keeps my brain happy. I feel like I wasted the day if I don’t stay on schedule.

13.5 hour work days keep your brain happy?

Born and raised in it. It’s my hobby, it’s what I do. It doesn’t feel like work. That’s all besides the point. It’s always been night shift. Even after switching to days for years now I still very easily can pull off night shifts. I think night shifts really changes something in the brain and body. You want to be awake in the daylight naturally so you don’t sleep a lot as is.

What do you do for work? It sounds like you come from a family of vampire hunters. Or maybe you are the vampires…

I’m picturing that you’re a descendent from snow white’s dwarves and your fam goes and mines jewels together.
