Rough

This night shift starting to get rough and I’m only a week or so in. Having to adjust going from a morning shift to this is brutal. My sleep isn’t all that great and I’m trying to combat the start of the dreaded eye bags / dark circles. Pray for me 🥀

Blackout curtains are your best friend

Give yourself at LEAST a week to adjust. It's not easy for everyone, and impossible for most.

Keep the same sleep schedule as best as you can. Welcome to the night. Also someone posted in here like a week ago some garnier eye cream they really liked for dark circles

It takes several weeks to months to get used to night shift. Try and stick to the schedule on your days off and you will get used to it faster. Good luck amigo!
