We did that in the Army and your body alarm clock never new when to relax, eat or sleep. It also screwed up your off time because you were either too tired to enjoy it or getting set for the next shift which was always too soon, not having had a chance to really unwind.Lucy Sternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551301072676727397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101682.post-91039653588141335432011-04-17T00:26:12.502-05:002011-04-17T00:26:12.502-05:00Whnever we have night work I almost always volunte...Whnever we have night work I almost always volunteer. I enjoy the relative quiet at night, and have no trouble at all getting enough sleep during the day. <br /><br />I'm hearing that in some cases controllers are required to work different shifts within the same week. No good. Pick guys who don't mind night work and let them work graveyard for weeks at a time.Col. Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661036185268724026noreply@blogger.com
