Ok, not the same thing, but when I worked 5:30am to 1:30pm during the summer, on my days off I would tend to stay up until about 3am and then sleep as long as I felt like.

I was just wondering. I was off for 3 days this past weekend and slept during the day and stayed awake during the night. If I was awake during the day then I could have visited some relatives.

I work from 7pm to 8:30am. I go to PT after work, and then sleep until I have to get up for work.

Depends how many nights in a row Im working. If its more than a few I try and sleep during the day. If its just one or two, Ill just try and sleep at night.

Back when I worked night shift I tried doing 8-3 sleep... I slept in the basement though so it was nice and dark. (Think normal basement, not dungeon-like conditions type of basement)

I usually go back to sleeping regular on my days off. I work 10 days on then 4 off. If I only had 2 days off I'd probably try to stay on the midnight schedule.

I worked 12 am - 8 am for just under a year...

I slept from 11 am - 7 pm every day, weekends included. if I needed to take care of business, I'd do it before going to bed and possibly stay up a few hours later if I needed to get in a doctor's appointment, hair cut, etc. if I was going out with my friends, I'd just wake up an hour or two early.

one thing that was weird was going to a party, hanging out until the party died around 5 am, and then coming back to my apartment and being aware for another 6 hours sobering up.

I work weekdays 0:20 - 7:30, but I totally change my sleeping habits for the weekend in order to synchronize myself to "normal" people.

When my week's over (Friday morning), I usually don't sleep until Friday night (though I'm going to bed quite early) if I don't have anything planned after supper. Else I try to get some sleep during the day to last longer. I'm living during the days and sleeping at nights all weekend, I don't have the habit of sleeping Sunday nights before going to work, though sometimes I try and get 3-4 hours right before I leave, depending how tired I am.

On weekdays, I sleep from around 1-3PM to 9:30. If I get to bed too early and I somehow awake, I have a hard time getting back to sleep, so I wait to be more tired.

I change to normal on weekends, otherwise I would never see my wife.
