Set your alarm for the exact time you need to get up and get out of bed when it goes off.

When I was younger I forced this by putting the clock out of reach, I had to physically get out of bed to turn it off. I don’t need to do it any more but it was a very good habit to get into.

I’ll take longer shifts with 7 days off per fortnight over normal ones with only weekends off any day. I rarely change my sleep schedule, I just stay nocturnal most of the time. I pop to the shops on my break most shifts to grab a backpack load of groceries, then there’s a 24h one near my apartment if I need anything that can’t wait on nights off. I spend my “mornings” with my girlfriend until she goes to bed around lunchtime, then I have the rest of my time to myself. It works for me, and has been for the last 8 years 🤷‍♂️

Security, and I would kill for a couple of hours to myself each day. By the time I get home, I have about half an hour to get to sleep if I want a full 8h down before the next shift. I work 2-3 nights, then get 2-3 off, so it averages out to 7 shifts a fortnight which isn’t so bad.

3pm, for a 5pm-6am workday. The type of person who would present this question unironically would probably still consider me useless though.

One way

It’s infuriating that he comes back to get the last word and prove that he didn’t learn anything.

I’ve got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can’t pile up if they don’t exist.
