What's your best tip for working 12-hour shifts? Thanks for watching!
I've been working 6pm to 6am.5-6 days a week for 8 months, just put in 7 straight 14s.
But I like $1800-2000 checks after taxes every week
I'm scheduled for 42hrs but literally can work as many hours and extra days as I choose
me2 but I recently started taking the 3 day weekends and to be truthful I like it more than the $. People have no idea how long a 3 day weekend is until they've done what you and I have. And getting it every week is like a mini vacation every week. Ill still put in some time here and there for the $ but im 54 and really feel like I need a break.
Thanks for the tips! I struggle with 12 hours. I am on them constantly and I am not on a pattern rota, so it changes all the time. This makes it difficult for me to be in a routine. After 12 hours, I am shattered, like all I have energy to do is crawl into bed and sleep. I have been trying to do some tasks in between shifts, like sort out uniform for next shift, defrost lunch etc. I also work in a job where I can't set times to walk away. I also have a 40 min commute each way so it's less time to get organised. Your tips and other videos have helped a lot though and I try to slowly insert them into my life!
Hi RJT. Thanks for your comment and for giving us an insight into your life as a 12-hour shift worker. I have found lately that what I eat has a huge impact on how I feel. The slugginess and fatigue are made so much worse if I eat poorly and are not hydrated. Not sure this is a thing for you too? Good luck
After a year away from night shift I'm going back to them but 12 hour nightshifts. Your channel has been a great resource!
You've made my day Alexandria. Thank you. As you restart nights, please let us know if we can help in any way.
Thank you for putting this together! It was very helpful. You're the best.
Brilliant content, I'm always encouraged to tackle the shift!👍🏻
Thank you so much. Sing out if you need any help along the way!
I'm working 12hrs for 6 days in norm one time I did 12hrs for 8 days 🙄
I work 12 hours one week night shift and the other day shifts 36 hours a week night shift and 44 hours a week day shift which makes an average of 40 hours a week. At least I got 3 to 4 days off every week
Any other Amazonians here?
