    I used to work a graveyard shift from 11pm to 6am. The first wave of morning workers were typically tradies in hi-viz, driving bright white vans. I used to think of them as a glowing army sent to scare off the walking dead clubbers who were still stumbling around.

    My roommate works graveyard. I naturally wake up at 4am.

    There’s been many weird catch-up conversations in the kitchen when our paths cross lol

    Here’s a question I thought of to ask people at parties: what is the time of night (or day I suppose) where you’re just as likely to be staying up late as to be getting up early? In other words, sort of the midpoint between your latest bedtimes and earliest mornings. I think mine would be around 5 AM.

      5AM is spot on in my (foolish) experience when I was younger. I have many fun nights still barely going at 5AM and I also had jobs where I got up at 4:45AM to beat the traffic for a long commute.

      It makes you feel so wasted being around sober people. Or maybe it’s that being around other people who are wasted numbs you to it

    I’ve worked both shifts. Night is definitely less tightly wound, on average. Both are caffeinated, so that’s not it. Career night shift usually day sleep 8hrs so that’s not it either.

      I don’t think this meme is talking about night shift, so much as partiers and such.
