Hey, i do nights in a sleep lab too 
i swapped to stay on the 11pm to 7am shift for about 18 months...i was taking additional college classes, trying to escape from my suck-ass job. the first 3 weeks sucked....was ok after that....didn't bother me very much then.
looking back ten years, i don't know how i managed to do it.

I am on permanent nights on the new rig now. 530 pm to 530 am 7 days on/off.
Nothing new for me, but usually we switch tours every other week. I am a night person anyway so it is hard for me to get back on a daytime schedule during my weeks off.

I used to do the 11pm to 7am. I liked it because your work week ended 7am friday. I'd go home friday morning right after work and sleep for 8-10 hrs then be ready to party all weekend.
right on bro, I'm in Denver... Where are you?luke_moore said:Hey, i do nights in a sleep lab too

We monitor brain wave activity, respiritory, oxygenation, sometimes c02 retention...
All sorts of sleep disorders out there, but mostly clients have sleep apnoea. I'd actually like to do a questionaire for bb'ers, that i could present at the next aussie sleep conference, since there's no data on bb'er who have high bmi, but low bf%.
If i get the go-ahead from work, i'll post it up on the board, and would love for you all to help out, we could make sleep history lol.

I worked Midnight - 8 am for about 2 years back in the late 80's..
I had its positive moments if you could go without much sleep.
You could work till 8 am, then party at the beach, theme parks etc most of the day
and then sleep a few hours in the evening before going into work.
Going from sleeping at night on the weekends to sleeping in the day was the hardest. Especially on your Monday back to work..
Many times I woke up to a horn blowing as I drove home in the morning and nodded off. Long Stoplights were another time to take a nap.
