  10 pm to 7 am. Your bioclock will probably adjust to this night shift in about two weeks. Hopefully the call center won't quickly change your work skeds right after you've adjusted -- that would play havoc on your metabolism. My advice -- continue to eat regular meals, which should help your body and brain synchronize your sleep mechanisms.

  I hope the shower worked to relieve you of the tension.

  I worked a job at night once and also found getting quality sleep an issue.  I did find that making my bedroom windows completely blacked out helped. (I put foil backed insulation in them.)  It's rough adjusting to nights.  Give yourself some time to adjust to it.

  queenie- You can adjust to the shift, but not if people awaken you to ask questions. They need to learn that. 

• wombat said on Jul 21, 2008....

  Two suggestions:   Ear plugs and a Do Not Disturb sign!  Hope you can adjust your sleep schedule.  I guess the message seemed important enough to waken you at the time, but I would explain the difference between "information" and "important news." 
   
  Oh--and maybe a sleep mask to go with the ear plugs!

  Queenie, I told you it would take time.  Dont be too hard on yourself and everyone else.  You need to learn how to switch off.  I agree with Wombie, get decent ear plugs or put your iPod on when you go to sleep.  Try to "unfocus" on the things around you. 
   
  Please try not to get as tense as this, because you are making it worse on yourself.
   
  I wish you all the best baby.
   
  Love

  Working the midnight shift is not easy just for the simple reason of your bio-clock being inverted.  I've not only worked the midnight shift but also the swing shift for years in which one comes in at different times/shifts during the week.
  It creates havoc with your sleeping habits let me tell you.  Blocking out your windows is excellent advice as I've got mine partially blocked and even that helps quite a lot.
  Learn to relax yourself and put a " do not disturb " sign on your doorknob when you hit the sack.  That will remind the family members that you need your sleep.

  Awe our poor Queenie {{{{HUGS}}}}!
   
  Yes, this post just confirmed to me that we have the same Mother's.  I really think we have to be related through them!
   
  Does your Mom do the "double knock" on your door and not wait for an answer if it's clear to enter room?  My Mother has done this my entire life.  WHY bother knocking if you're going to bardge in anyway?  If you are going to knock, WAIT for a damn answer and if I don't answer I'm either A) SLEEPING or B) NOT HOME.  However, it's always safer for them, emotionally, if they do NOT enter because I am most likely sleeping.  Should you wake me the shit will hit the fan especially because I can't EVER sleep!
   
  Sorry for joining in on the rant here Queenie.  I didn't mean to take anything away from yours.  I just HAD to point out in rant form how our mother's could be the same person.  LOL! 
   
  Oh, and uhhh...don't ask me why my butt is up so early this morning.  I could scream over it right about now!

  actually daily she just yelled my name... but she's nicer now since she knows i could be abitch if i have lack of sleep... ;-)

• dailyachesandpains said on Jul 23, 2008....

  Ohhhhh, man, Queenie!  Then name yelling thing...makes me want to change my name and erase my memory of my name prior. 
   
  Guess what woke me up today?
  The neighbor was cutting down the tallest pine tree in the neighborhood and had the tree cutters MULCH it.  That means, it went through a huge grind machine and all while listening to the guy with chain saws cutting down each limb.  I could have cried.
