After You just worked a 14 hours shift

📝Step 1: HANDWRITE all your notes. There are proven studies to show that you remember more by handwriting notes vs typing. Wether it’s on paper, or an Ipad (I actually did both) and I personally write out my notes 2-3 times in different formats each time 🖨️Step 2: By printing or downloading the

I walked to my car in silence that night. No music. No podcast. Just me, my scrubs soaked with sweat, and the overwhelming thought: “I can’t do this anymore.” It was one of those shifts. Call lights nonstop. A patient coding down the hall. Two others with pain levels through the roof. A f

My night after lectures as a dental hygiene student! Cleaned up some, worked on assignment, some self care (so so important both), journaled and read in my Bible, finally headed off to bed! 🤍🪥🦷 #hygienestudent #dentalstudentlife #Lemon8Diary #eveningroutine #dayinalife

If you’ve ever worked a 12-hour shift that magically turned into 16, you know the feeling, exhaustion so deep it seeps into your bones. You clock out mentally hours before your body actually does. Your feet ache, your back screams, and you’re running on caffeine, adrenaline, and pure heart. 💉

Nights can be a struggle. I personally love working nights! PROs: No management or being baby sat, the pace is slower and more relaxed staff wise, pts are sleep so it’s less chaotic, not as many admissions or d/c (depends on the unit of course, RIP my ED folks😮‍💨I would and could never), don’t h

Switching to night shift felt like flipping my entire life upside down. The first few weeks? Brutal. I was groggy, irritable, and felt like I was in a permanent fog. But over time, I found a rhythm that worked for me — and if you’re heading into night shift life, here’s what helped me (and might

“Hi it’s Britney, 12 hours before my shift! 😊” I know it’s an “old meme” but WOW, is it relatable 😂 I work 4/12 graveyard shifts as a DSP. And it’s definitely my most chill job, but working nights is not for the weak! Things happen and it’s definitely stressful and exhausting at times but it’s

I realized I didn’t need another job… I needed another stream. Because no matter how hard I worked, one income still only covered survival — not freedom. And honestly? That kind of pressure gets exhausting. Constantly budgeting stress. Trying to stretch money. Feeling like one unexpe

Target – Day 4 Date: 8/5/25 Total Hours Worked: ~5 hours • 3:55 PM: Clocked in • 4:00 PM – 7:09 PM: Picked items from the backroom and stocked shelves in the Sporting Goods and Luggage sections • 7:09 PM – 7:24 PM: Took a 15-minute break in the break room, texted Poo

I just finished a stretch of nights and I’ve been hurting. I work in the ER so my schedule bounces around a lot, but here’s how I recover after I work nights! - slept for 9+ hours. This is a must. Shoutout to the girlies who are cute sleepers, because it is certainly not me lmao - went to the

Everyone sees the uniform, the smile, the quick “How are you feeling today?” But what people don’t see is… 💤 The exhaustion after a night shift – sometimes your body is so sore you don’t even recognize yourself in the mirror. 💧 The tears you cry in the car before pulling yourself together to wal

For Ruby, the issue was never only makeup. before a video meeting, she kept noticing that her skin never felt moisturized enough after cleansing, and that feeling followed her into the rest of the morning. With a breakfast paper bag and her phone still sitting there, it felt like one of those ordin

Clocked in at 5:02 AM. Clocked out by 9:01. 3 hours and 59 minutes on the clock… but now the rest of the day is mine. ✨ This morning I decided to romanticize the small wins. So I grabbed Starbucks, got my favorite sandwich, and reminded myself that healing can look like showing up and slowing

I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Social Work in 2021. I thought I knew what I wanted to do, had the degree, and was ready to get to work. But every job seemed to want experience I didn’t have. I ended up waitressing for a while—just trying to stay afloat. Over the next three years, I worked tw

For Lillian, the issue was never only makeup. before seeing a client, she kept noticing that her skin looked worn out after long hours at the computer, and that feeling followed her into the rest of the morning.

This started as a small routine shift I was not expecting to care about so much. I was in that night-shift student kind of stretch of life, and during the evening before a night shift in a small rental room I kept noticing the same thing: after long days, I wanted something that felt nourishing wit

For Charlotte, the issue was never only makeup. before a wedding rehearsal, she kept noticing that her skin felt tight after commuting in the wind, and that feeling followed her into the rest of the morning. With her keys and an earbud case still sitting there, it felt like one of those ordinary mo
