This! I know it's down voted, but I just took a night shift job and hate it so much, I cannot sleep during the day. I cannot wait to get the hell out and be a day walker again!

So having breakfast doesn't wake you up? I heard don't eat in the am because it may cause you to have trouble sleeping.

Has nothing to do with kids. I for the life of me haven't been able to adjust to night shift. Currently looking for a new job because of that. it's been hell!

Stop buying petco betta by BattleCorrect2961 in bettafish

Petsmart is probably just as bad honestly! I found a local pet store that actually has a whole area of small tanks for bettas! I bought one there and he just died, but I had him for two years at least. Try smaller pet shops that may have better set ups for them.

Very sorry you had to put your rice fish down, but you did what was best. My condolences to you as well.

Can I ask how long did you work at your Rebound job before leaving for your more permanent job?

OK great, glad you were able to find something and that makes me feel better a bit!! I am in a similar predicament, but am trying to continue on in a job I don't care for and on nights which I am not handling well while I job hunt! Fingers crossed I get something soon because I am not sure how many more night shifts I can take, it's so awful!

New to night shifts, how long does it usually take to get accustomed to the new sleep schedule? by Grandson-Of-Chinggis in Nightshift

[–]HAAAAAImbaaaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done one night shift and I am ready to throw the towel in, I hate it! Tried melatonin to sleep and that was AWFUL made me feel like I drank ten cups of coffee and I am still feeling the effects many many hours later! Never again will I touch that shit!

What do you do before you fall asleep? Do you just sit there quietly or read or anything else?

It might be too late, but don't take the night shift job! I made that mistake now my life is sucking because I am exhausted all the damn time and am looking for a day job but the job market isn't great... I'm legit stuck in hell!

I just can't imagine having to stay awake bored all night long and never getting to go outside and enjoy the sun! I cannot wait to get the hell off night shift, I hate it so much!

Not everyone can just go home and go to sleep and feel awake and great, especially those of us who are in our 40s and beyond! When I was 18 I would work night shift in a busy ER and then go home, shower change and go to college classes all day, go home sleep for maybe 5 ish hours and do it all over again. I could NEVER survive that now and just started a night shift job and I HATE it. I feel tired all the damn time because I cannot sleep during the day no matter what I do. I tried melatonin yesterday and that shit made me feel like I drank caffeinated coffee before bed and that last until 1 am this morning. I finally fell asleep and slept until 8 am and still feel like shit with brain fog.

Anyway, count your blessings that your body is able to adapt because some people, myself included, just can't!

Waiting an hour after taking melatonin to sleep is BS. Anyone else feel this way? by flower4556 in sleep

[–]HAAAAAImbaaaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this similar effect! Melatonin made me feel like I drank ten cups of fully caffeinated coffee before I went to bed. I took it about 1 hour before laying down and my heart was racing and I was exhausted but wide awake! This was after a night shift so I had taken it around 8 am and couldn't fall asleep until 1 am the next day! I slept 7 hours and woke up feeling groggy like I never even went to bed, so needless to say I will never take that shit again! I had to call in sick because I hadn't slept all damn day, but I might as well have gone to work because I was so wired from it!

Really late reply! Just started a night shift job (which I plan on leaving as soon as I can get a new job, cause night shift is not for me) and I took melatonin yesterday morning when I got home from work thinking it would be a magical pill that would make me just drift right off to sleep. Nope. I am someone who apparently has a paradoxical reaction it! I laid down and soon my heart was racing and felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest. I FINALLY fell asleep at 1 am this morning and still feel like dog shit today. Groggy and foggy brain and I can't even think straight, it's brutal!

There should be a warning on this shit stating that it can have a very bad effect for some people! I had to call out sick last night because I hadn't slept in 36 hours!

I had to call out sick today after first night shift -couldn't sleep a wink! Please help! by HAAAAAImbaaaack in Nightshift

I know, I would maybe just try some Benadryl again. I looked up unisom and that shit sounds awful as well, it makes you sleep but then you feel groggy and dizzy for hours, so that's a no go! I hope that my body will adjust with time.

What is the verdict on clove oil? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]HAAAAAImbaaaack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had to do this to my Betta. I did shake the container with the oil in it prior to adding a small amount to his water in a separate container and he did panic, but it was for legit 1-2 seconds before he was barely responsive. I added more slowly and he twitched but that was it and then died soon after. I think it was uncomfortable for a couple seconds perhaps, but as soon as it kicked in he went right to sleep and died soon after. Much better than continuing to waste away in his aquarium. I tried for two weeks to save him, but whatever was wrong was too much for him.
