My Husband Worked Graveyard Shift

I will never work the graveyard shift Because elementary students are not awake all night. My charges whom I persuade and uplift. They bring me all kinds of happiness and light. My husband worked the graveyard shift For about a year, once upon a time, many years ago. We had two small babies, so the real challenge was mine. Trying to keep them quiet so he could sleep, filled me full of woe. He would wake up and be nice about it, but it was not ideal. Working the graveyard shift means your day sleep must be real. I am so glad those days are over, they were stressful to me. And to my husband also, as you can plainly see.

I worked midnights many years ago when I was a Night Auditor for Days Inn. It was horrible, trying to sleep during the day. My internal clock was so confused.

Sleeping during the day time is nigh onto impossible.
