[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 698286, member: 1963"] Overnights are a REALLY bad idea for most people with mental illness. I worked them for nearly 25 years, and while they were easier for me because I was coming in with very messed up biorhythms from at least birth onward, they still left me with major problems. These days I simply do not sleep without medication. It is nearly impossible to get your full sleep cycles during the day unless you are living alone and can modify a bedroom and somehow include sound and lightproofing. In my case, I cannot sleep without a light ON! I've become so used to sleeping during the day that I have to have a light ON to sleep at night. Try and encourage him/help him to get off this shift asap. You don't want him to have the various issues I have as a result of a life spent working overnights. [/QUOTE]
