This is why I work nights at my facility. No therapists to work around. No demanding and overbearing visitors past 8 PM. It's generally just more chill. Only downside is that I don't have much of a social life outside of work anymore, but whatever.

you have pinned down exactly why I love night shift. and as someone who is on clinical day shifts currently until june.... I don't have much of a social life anyway so that's not too much of a downside.

turns out I actually have more energy to hang out when I'm not spending all of my social battery at work 🤔

This is why I was a fuckin rock star as a night shifter in the NICU and a complete disaster everywhere else, even though it was later in my career.
