Survived My First Week on the Night Shift (Barely)

After 2 years of searching, I finally landed a full-time job 🙌 … but it’s the 10PM–6AM graveyard shift 😅. Week one is officially DONE and here’s the honest recap:

🌙 The First Week:

• Threw up two nights in a row (glamorous, I know).

• Hit the 3AM wall so hard I was stumbling like I’d had 3 margaritas 🍹-minus the fun.

• Realized coffee isn’t optional. It’s oxygen.

☕️ My Coffee Routine:

Forget Starbucks. I bring my own ingredients and make iced coffee strong enough to wake Dracula. One cup to start the shift, another around 3AM to finish strong.

😴 Sleep Struggles:

• Sometimes I crash so hard I barely remember getting home.

• Other times I’m wide awake, staring at the ceiling like it’s Sunday brunch time. My body has no clue what’s going on.

✨ The Win:

Am I crushing the job itself? YES.

Am I conquering the graveyard shift yet? Still working on it. But hey week one down, and I’m still standing (barely).
