For 4 years I worked 5 nights weekly, 11 pm-7am; had 2 nights off in a row only every other week. Went from that to doing 13 weeks of 7pm to 7:30 am, or whenever I finally finished, 3 nights a week, w/every other weekend off. I immediately switched to working a job in which I leave at 6:40 am and get home at 6:40 pm 5 days a week. Switching to day shift is quite an adjustment, but at least I have 3 weekends out of 4 off each month.
