I think the hardest part about working third shift isn't the nights you work but the nights you have off. What I mean by that is it's 5:40 and I'm all alone in my room with nobody awake knowing that if I fall asleep too early I'll wake up too early but at the same time all I want to do is sleep because there's nothing to do. Nothing is open, I have to keep the volume down, it's dark all throughout the house and I'm just laying in bed doom scrolling to stay awake. Even the people who stay up late with me have gone to sleep because they have things to do. It's depressing how alone I am, because you wouldn't be able to tell during the day or on the nights I work but every Wednesday night between 3 and 8 in the morning it's just silence alone with your thoughts and any motivation you had just drained ready for it all to be over so I can finally sleep.
