Reply #6: Working graveyard

[idahoblue]

As it was once called means that you are never rested. I worked 7p to 7a for many years. I felt like I was suffering brain damage. 3am was tough no matter how much rest happened during the day sleeping. It is impossible to get the same quality of sleep during the day as at night. The discussion of this has been all wrong. Why are they doubling back?
All research indicates that a short nap is beneficial to mental ability. They should be encouraged to take a nap. I work in a hospital and they also forbid sleeping. Duh!
Why are they working alone? That is dangerous on many levels.
What does the union have to do with the bizarre schedule these people work?
Is falling asleep a new development or has it just come to light?

It was called graveyard for a reason- it will kill you!

(we did take turns sleeping when the work load allowed it, screw em!)
