When DH was working night shift, he'd stay up all day Monday, work Monday night, and go to bed Tuesday morning. At the end of the week, he'd work Thursday night, stay up all day Friday, and go to bed Friday night so he could spend the weekend on the kids' schedule. Ugh, it was miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753882 Wed, 01 May 2013 03:23:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 753882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I lied...not quite an all-nighter. Translation: 4 hours of sleep!! Woo hoo :)</p> <p>@mrsmenow: Enjoy your night :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753878 Wed, 01 May 2013 02:48:06 +0000 mrsmenow 753878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am at work now, lol. 7P-7a. I will have LO home with me so I will sleep for a couple of hours and then go to bed at our regular time tomorro. We self schedule so I try not to work two nights in a row. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753807 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:25:33 +0000 sera_87 753807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When i worked double I would work 11-7am, try to be asleep by 10(ish), sleep until 2, and then up &amp; at work for 3:30-10:30pm and straight to the other job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753723 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:44:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 753723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: I wish I had that choice! I've been pulling these shifts since 2002. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753721 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:42:41 +0000 BSB 753721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to leave early on days I pulled an all nighter the night before. I'm usually exhausted by the afternoon. If I can't leave early, I'll usually fall asleep as soon as I get home or after dinner. Like 7pm ish. (7pm bedtime is extremely early for me... I usually go to bed around midnight.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753674 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:10:45 +0000 Dapple Grey 753674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep the next day! Sleep is too precious to pass up but i have had that euphoric feeling of not beig tired when you do stay up instead if sleep.. But for me it catches up with me hard the next day :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753673 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:07:37 +0000 littlek 753673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done a legit all nighter but worked till 4 a.m. and then had to be at work at 8 a.m. I try and leave work early and get to bed early if I worked really late the night before, but that doesn't usually work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753646 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:46:44 +0000 Emsmems 753646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked night shift (7p-7a) and I didn't work the next night (I would sleep all day if I did work that night again, of course), I would sleep a few hours (4 at most) when I got home and then force myself to stay awake the rest of the day and then go to bed early. It worked. But overall, I was miserable. I felt like absolute crap all the time. I hope you fare better! I, for one, will avoid ever working a night shift again if I can help it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753599 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 753599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: stupid electronic filings and trial prep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753598 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:16:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 753598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. It's 7:15 and I don't think I can make it much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753594 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:15:11 +0000 winniebee 753594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't think of a time I have pulled an actual all nighter b/c of work. Very few hours of sleep though? Definitely.</p> <p>Hope you get some rest soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753571 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:04:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 753571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I try to stay up and plan to got to bed with LO. What makes them extra trixxies now is the additional sleep deprivation on top of LO's multiple night wakings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753374 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:42:51 +0000 LovelyPlum 753374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...this is a timely question, as I'm not sleeping tonight, in all likelihood. I usually try to stay up, unless I start getting really nauseous. Then all bets are off, and I try to take an hour nap and go to bed early the next day. </p> <p>Hope you get some sleep soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753349 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:26:36 +0000 runsyellowlites 753349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I pulled night shifts I was usually up most the day the next day with a short nap after lunch. Of course the night shifts I pulled were always ontop of my previous days day shift so when they happened I was too tired to really fall asleep the next morning anyways. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-pull-an-all-nighter#post-753341 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:23:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 753341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you pull an all nighter for work, do you try and stay up the whole next day? I do all night shifts once or twice a month in addition to my regular day work. I usually try to sleep but had meetings all day today and didn't have that luxury. I can't tell if I feel better, worse or the same as usual, but this sure is better for the girls :)</p> <p>What do you do? </p>
