1. You are a night owl. You fully embrace this nature of yours and have no shame in sleeping in during the day and being completely awake during night. Even on your off days.
2. Going back to number one--your off days consist of sleeping in and possibly binge watching on that favorite show of yours. Making plans with friends and the outside world may require you to discipline yourself to a 'normal human being' schedule--the last thing you want to do is fall asleep at cousin Sharon's wedding.
3. When trying to function during the day, you realize that it's just not that simple. First give me coffee and let me nap and then I"ll make that vital executive decision.
4. Coffee is your best friend.
5. Your usual eating time is midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and so on and so forth. Coming home from night shift you will realize you did, in fact, have a ravenous appetite after all and might deplete your fridge of basically every food item.
6. Going back to number four--coffee is your best friend. Want to cut down on it? I suggest still a caffeinated drink to help you get through your day.
7. The night shift crew that you have been working with becomes family to you--thankful for these souls!
8. You wouldn't have it any other way--you love working nights and you love being a night owl.
