The_Craig Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 When is the best time to sleep after a nightshift? Just finished at 7 there and unsure whether to sleep now or later. I'm tired enough to sleep but I wouldn't normally come home from work then sleep straight away if I was working during the day. Is it your last night or are you on a run? I do a 1930 - 0800 nightshift, usually in the house for half 8, a bit of brekkie (supper?) then in bed at 9 till about 4 in the afternoon. If it's my last night, I'll kip on the couch with Sky Sports News on in the background until around noon, then get up and get shifted. Problem with this is I'm usually burst come 8 at night but if I fall asleep at this time, I'll be up at midnight bright as a button. My works a b*****d and you often get nightshift > sleep day > dayshift where you finish at 8 in the morning and start at 0730 the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a 1930 - 0800 nightshift, usually in the house for half 8, a bit of brekkie (supper?) then in bed at 9 till about 4 in the afternoon.It was my first night last night and I'll finish up Sunday morning. 5 shifts of 9-7. Ended up falling asleep at 8 and waking up at 3. I'm not to bad just now but know I'll be shattered come 2. Never been on nightshift before so it's a totally new experience. Trying to decide what meal to eat when I got up was a struggle. Settled for breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 In my (limited) experience, the best time to sleep is not after but during. Aye we used to have a rota to indicate who was sleeping, who was "working"/keeping the edge. Her Majesty runs a 24 hour operation in these modern times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap. This is something that fucks me off at times. I'm lucky with my (never changes) rota in that I'm NS Sat n Sun then not back until Wednesday at 2pm. But I still see it as only 1 day off. See trying to convince folk that the day you come off a NS isn't a day off, it's nigh on impossible at my work. Coming off NS you have two options; go to bed straight away and try and get up late morning/early afternoon or try and stay up all day. Either way you feel like shit or can't be arsed doing anything - therefore NOT a day off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Today was the last day of MW transmissions due to the government auction of frequencies, you can still get the channels online or on DAB. It was about a month ago it went in for the service, poor effort. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 When making an insurance claim for goods, do you have to have the receipt? or can a bank statement also be a sufficient proof or purchase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endieinreekie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Cafe Rouge 43 Frederick Street. Excellent French nosherama. Wherever you decide to go, you'd better book today - the Feshtival is on ! A lot of restaurants won't let you book during the festival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 We're off to Forfar for the match on Saturday and need a pub in Dundee that will be open around 11am, preferably not far from the train or bus station. Is it likely to be a bog-standard Wetherspoons job or are there decent alternatives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a couple of minutes walk from the station, and it's a decent pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the full-time whistle all bets will be off, but we'll be kicking around Forfar and Dundee well into the evening. You never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
