How to adjust time for shift work
Thread Content
How do people adjust their time when working shifts? What do they do during their off hours? Is there a daily schedule that I can learn from?
If one goes to bed right after finishing the night shift, they usually don’t eat at noon. But if there is a task that requires cooking at noon, then one has no choice but to insist on having lunch before going to bed.
Working shifts is really tough; I remember working shifts when I was in my 20s for two years, not eating or sleeping at noon, which was very harmful to my health.
The day shifts are similar to a normal work schedule; it’s mainly the night shifts that are problematic – after working at night one goes straight to sleep, but then fails to get enough rest during the day, which is very tough.
In this line of work, I don’t think it’s about being an operator; there’s no need to fear shift work, as everyone understands that.
In a few days you’ll get used to it, and by then you’ll have the skills to operate in all conditions, on land, at sea, and in the air
It really gets easier with practice! The schedule is kept quite regular! We work on a 12-hour shift schedule, with days off during the day; there are two days off in total, and those are for those who finish their night shifts – don’t get it wrong! There’s nothing to say about the day shift – you spend the whole day at the factory, then go home, take a shower, watch some TV or use your phone, and then go to bed! On the mornings of night shifts, we rest at home, or the whole family goes out to play. We have a small group, and every morning we either play badminton or swim! After lunch, I watch TV for a while and then go to bed to prepare for the night shift! After finishing my night shift, I usually get home around 9:30; I spend some time with Haichuan before going to bed. If I need to cook, I get up at 12 o’clock; if not, I just wake up when I feel like it! I have to eat at noon, and I can play freely after 2 p.m.! With 2 days off, you can try exploring the surrounding area!
It’s a four-shift system with two shifts per day; after working the night shift, I’m very tired and go straight to sleep until noon. After having lunch, I sleep again until around two or three o’clock, after which I can’t fall asleep anymore
You exercise quite a lot usually. From what I’ve heard from people who work shift work, they hardly eat lunch; they sleep all day until evening and then continue with their night shift. You go to bed at 9:30 and get up at 12 – that’s a bit little sleep, isn’t it?
I don’t need to cook; I wake up on my own around 1 o’clock! Wake up and eat. If I’m cooking, I start at 12 o’clock and then take a short nap in the afternoon
The LZ post isn’t very good, so I’ll just reply reluctantly
