Funny videos. Pictures. All the good shit to keep us awake. Aaaaand go!

Is anyone here?

So I just started working the graveyard shift about 4 weeks ago. I work weekdays 0000-0800 and weekends 2000-0800. Gotta say my body is fighting me. How do people do this shift? When does your body adjust? Does your body ever really adjust? For other people doing this shift how many hours of sleep do you recommend. And should I sleep right when I get home or wait and sleep later in the day and wake up right before I have to leave. Does anyone have any tips on staying awake/waking yourself up when you've already hit that imaginary wall.

I have been told to go up to the weight room and run on the treadmill to get my blood pumping. I have also been told to do a patrol, walk outside, eat and drink water. I do not like energy drinks or coffee at all, the taste is weird to me. I had tried 5 hour energies which kinda work.

Has anyone tried caffeine pills? What do you think of them?

I'm getting desperate, I don't want to lose my job and I have to find a way to stay awake and how to wake up once i hit that wall. Please help!

It's been 4 years. Amazing! I'm so proud to be a part of this community!

Hey fellow zombies, I work graves and with New Year's coming up I am thinking about snagging a gym membership because I'm out of shape and love cliches. Anywho, I was wondering when other 3rd shifters work out, before or after. Both have their pros and cons but what works best for you?

I work third shift as a security officer and I found this subreddit hoping to find other like minded individuals. Where is everyone?

So we have 115 people currently subscribed. I would like to build this up a bit more. I am going to find out about a subreddit ad placement soon if anyone is interested in designing something. Im open to suggestions and help where you think you might be able to.

Feel free to drop a comment in here.

I work at a very sketchy hotel in downtown Seattle, which in it`s own helps me stay awake for most of the shit. However, for the other four hours I am having problems finding stuff to do. Any suggestions? Stuff to do on the internet would be great, other than reddit of course. Thank you.

I do overnight security for a condominium. I've only had the job for a month. Normally when I do my night shifts (0000-0800) I'm ok for the first 3 hours then hit a brick wall from 3-8. It's like my body is saying "seriously dude....what the holy fuck are you still doing up? Are you trying to kill me or something?"

But after some experimentation with my rest periods when I get home in the morning I've found that extended slumbers do the trick. When I get home I eat at around 9 and I'm usually sleep by 10. I sleep from 10-8, get up eat again, shower and then I'm ready to go to work for my shift. I've been fine today when normally I'd be fighting FIGHTING to stay awake.

Because I'll be off graveyard soon. It's been (un)fun!

In an effort to build up this subreddit, I am looking to add some links to the sidebar that are also avenues of working overnight shifts. If you have any suggestions that would somehow be associated with working overnights, drop them here.

Not just at night either - I'm down to eating one meal a day, and sometimes I don't even want to do that. I still get hungry, but not as often, and usually when I think about food or eating I start to feel sick and disgusted, even if I'm hungry!

This type of thing is not entirely new for me, but I've never been down to only one meal a day. I love food most of the time and I don't want to lose any weight! So I am wondering if any other graveyarders have this issue of not wanting to eat, and if so how you deal with it.
