Without going to in depth. Work 50 - 60 hours a week. aged 36 and currently single. Most of my patients are of the older aged range and suffer with dementia and confusion and i've found talking to myself doesn't really help either:o

Dan29, what you doing up at this obscene time of the morning then??

I was on a late shift so am currently enjoying my 'evening' - after all people who finish work at 5pm don't go to bed at 6pm do they?

I did night shifts for a bit, a few years ago - I think I might have got used to it if I was doing them all the time, but mixing them with day shifts wasn't easy.

Sorry for the delay in replying - the cat came in and got between me and the PC

I find that most of my colleagues suffer the same way. They start at 9pm one night then start 2 days later at 7.15am. Its not good for the body.
Mandi, i believe that age is a state of mind, not all old people are the same. My grandfather is 96, lives alone, cooks and cleans for himself and is still bright as a button.

Nope leaves you permanently feeling jet lagged, takes years off your life. Pays the mortgage though

(Shift work I mean, not health care - as I'm the only person in this thread who doesn't do that it seems )
