I worked nights for 7 years, I currently work swing shifts

Nightshifts were brutal, especially during the winter

It's hard on your mental health, it's hard to sleep, you don't see the sun enough

There's few things as terrible as stopping and realizing the last time you saw the sun was months ago due to your work schedule.

Working days again (though it as early as I'd like) let me feel human again.

And for those currently working night shifts, get your vitamin D levels checked. They're low, trust me.
